 This outfit is just like an outfit from my youth. I remember it fondly. The summer of my sixth grade year. A friend named Julie was having a birthday party and most of the girls from our sixth grade class were invited. I remember I was going through this "thing" with a friend, on the outs during said summer of '85, and my mom helped lift my spirits by taking me shopping for a new outfit specifically for the party. I wore white shorts, a blue and white striped top, matching blue earrings and tennies! 

As I put this look together, that summer and outfit immediately came to mind. Isn't it funny how clothing can bring back so many memories?

And sometimes McKinley just wants to be a part of the shoot!(Don't worry, he never made it to the street, Mom!)

How I've worn these jeans before:

Shop the look!

Sweet and Sour

 Sunnies: Marc by Marc Jacobs via Rue La La;

There is something a little sweet and a little sour with this look. I love the sweet pin tucked sleeves. And the dress is sweet in that it can be worn on multiple occasions depending on you style it.

The sour comes with the lime green/neon yellowish stripe! The tough chain necklace! And the asymmetrical hemline against the Chevron stripe! And, the whole look contrasts with the top knot as its too hot to wear my hair down today. (And I am in desperate need of a cut and color!)

What I don't like about this....the imperfect way my belt is hanging! I know can't walk around perfectly quaffed all day, but I could have checked the belt. BOO!
