Crisp.

By: Jen Shoop

First: I omitted a very important part of the amazing giveaway I launched on Monday (if you’ve not yet entered, do so by the end of today by leaving a comment on this post for a great addition to your jewelry box!) — the fact that this giveaway was coordinated by the amazingly talented Stella + Dot stylist Dawn Biddlecomb!  If you like her Facebook page or follow her on Pinterest (in addition to leaving a comment on the giveaway post), you will be entered twice into the running for this amazing treat!  Woot woot!

Second: can I tell you that I found the absolute cutest striped, cap-sleeved blouse ($54) at Loft, of all places?!  Love the cut + fit.  The shirt has made me long for dead-of-summer heat, the 4th of July, and all things red-white-and-blue.  This in turn led to something of a stripe fixation in the middle of the week, and this RED Valentino top shot to the top of my covet list ($395), which I might wear with red or white skinnies and these phenom Sergio Rossi sandals ($1,000):

Like the look?  Another beachy option would be this stunning caftan (on sale for $199)

Also loving a pop of red in this embroidered eyelet tank ($65), a chunky gold necklace ($28), white skinnies, and those glossy gold J. Crizzle sandals I’ve featured 2,328 times — $138):

Also dying over this daisy lace mini ($98 — or get the look for less with this Joe Fresh style, $49) with a shell ($56 and slightly cropped — but the skirt should come up high enough / sit high enough so no skin is exposed…that Christina Aguilera midriff baring thang is not my style) and this funky statement necklace (D & G, $1,425 — or get the look for less with this Tory Burch  tassel necklace, $250):

If you’re not too afraid of matchy-matchiness, round it out with these adorbs Red Valentino sandals ($295) and this white clutch (YSL, $890):

  1. I just got that striped puff sleeve top from the Loft a few days ago and since then I have ordered 2 more colors! It fits perfect and will be so cute in the summer!! It is a great top to feature!

  2. I am on the hunt for a pair of white skinny jeans and having some trouble! I feel like all the pairs that I have tried on are too sheer or really unflattering (but I love regular skinny jeans – I have about 6 pairs!). Any suggestions of where to look?

    1. You know I’m a J. Brand snob — have you tried their white skinnies? I also had a pair that I liked from J. Crew, but I know that their denim can be a tough fit on some folks. One other thought — Gap, of all places. I’ve had a lot of readers say that they’ve found great fits there!

  3. I just bought the maternity version of the Loft top last week! Will have to get the J. Crew lace number for next summer, love it!
