So this is my new striped shirt. I now own two! I got one from a swap, and this one is from Ann Taylor during a ridiculously good sale. $6 well spent. I’m also wearing my ancient Talbots scarf, Gap skirt, and Jeffrey Campbell boots (other colors).

I can’t believe how long the warm weather’s been holding, but I’m definitely enjoying it!
