Summer Stripes

Even though it’s September, it’s been in the high eighties here in Atlanta. So while I’m feeling inspired for fall as I browse on Instagram and other blogs, I still have to dress cool enough for the southern heat. I’m trying to blend summer and fall styles, which is what I did here with the stripes and darker bag. This shirt is actually just a regular , but I rolled the sleeves and tied it up to help with the heat.
Black and white stripes totally give me fall vibes for some reason, but maybe it’s just me. I wore my , which I call my grandma flats, but I love them so much. They’re seriously so comfortable and I think they’re totally cute! I accessorized with a newer , some pretty , and my big, round .
I went with a black bag for the reason I mentioned, I feel like I really wanted to go with a fall look and fall = dark colors, right? I looked for this bucket bag (it’s old, but here’s the ) for so long, because I knew I wanted to wear a bucket bag. I need more of them, actually. I always find myself looking for a bucket bag. But this one was perfect – it’s classic with just a touch of extra style with the embellishments.

I wish it was still in the 80s here! The temps dropped so quick once September rolled around and I’m not ready for fall outfits at all. I’m loving your striped top!

Black and white stripes are my favorite kind of stripes! I don’t usually think of them as fall, but I can see where you get that from! They remind me of BTS which reminds me of fall.

This is totally my kind of “off duty” style. I really love the button up and how you tied it to turn it into a slouchy crop. I do that all the time and it’s so comfy! Your accessories are also totally on point!

Great layered necklaces (I love gold) and those slides are so cute! I have a pair in greige but I’m loving the camel as well!

I’d say, as long as the weather allows it, let summer be with us for as long as possible and living in Atlanta, your summer lasts a tad longer than most of ours so enjoy it to the fullest. In my book stripes are never wrong and I truly love a good striped outfit, especially paired with some fierce denim!
