I'm on the hunt for all things frilly and tropical this summer because a. it's summer b. I live in Florida and c. we are headed to a tropical destination next month! Sometimes I'm less hesitant to buy prints due to their perceived lack of longevity (will I love this top in 6 years the way I would something classic?) but this recent post inspired me to just go for it. (With a coupon, of course.) It's a top that can be worn both off shoulder and on, with jeans and shorts, heels or flats. Now comes the biggest challenge: not repeating it so many times between now and our trip that it still feels new!

Top: J.Crew, $39
Shorts: Levi's c/o, $27 (similar, similar)
Purse: Stella & Dot
Heels: JustFab, $39
Sandals: Dolce Vita c/o Amazon, $33
Hat: JCPenney c/o, $13 (similar, similar)
Earrings: J.Crew Factory, $15
Sunglasses: Foster Grant, $15 (similar, similar)
Approx. dates: Shoes are 4 years ago. Purse, shorts, sunglasses are 1 year ago. Earrings are recent. Top is new.
