Big / Little Style: Black & White Stripes

Even though Friday was the first official day of summer I have been breaking out my official summer bottom, the maxi skirt, for weeks now. I pretty much live in these things the moment the snow melts. Anything that makes you feel like you're walking around in a nightie is a win in my books...

I am loving this skirt in simple black and white. The stripes are such a classic look and go well with anything from denim to bright pops of colour. Here's how we're wearing our black and white stripes:

Big / Little Style: black & white stripes

I actually want to steal Alice's whole outfit, maybe minus the doll ;)

BIG STYLE:
maxi skirt: target, old (similar here)
top: old navy (similar here)
necklace: stella & dot, jolie necklace
bracelet: old (similar here)
nail polish: joe fresh, melon
sandals: joe fresh, old (similar here)

LITTLE STYLE:
denim vest: joe fresh (on sale in stores)
dress: joe fresh (new in stores)
jelly sandals: old navy
doll: melissa love handmade dolls

And some black & white stripes for the little man in your life here, here and here.

Christine

    I seriously need Joe Fresh clothing for Mila. They have the cutest things. I wonder if they sell kids items at JC Penny. I didn't see them online, but you never know!

      I hope they've got kids at JC Penney too! I swear half of Alice's wardrobe is from there!

    Love this post! My niece was rocking that denim vest from Joe this weekend too - it is ADORABLE! I'm also in love with maxi skirts because it feels like a built in blanket for chilly days at the office :)

      SO true, Nicole! They're warm when it's cold and breezy when it's hot - best. thing. ever.

    Love the stripes! I have been looking everywhere for a black and white striped maxi but to no avail. They must be getting snapped up as soon as the stores stock them.

      Target seems to have them if you have one near you, I've seen some at Gap too. Good luck!

    A striped maxi skirt never goes out of style, and it looks great with denim. I can picture myself in that black & white stripe skirt with a white tank and faded jean jacket. Oooh...now I want to go shopping!!

    My fave yet!!

    I agree, maxi skirts are the best. I live(d) in them before, during, & after prego, HA!! That's called versatility & longevity (talking to you, parachute pants). I need to venture into the patterns though....

    I could actually duplicate your entire big style [and actually, could do a damn close job on your little style too!] and just might do that tomorrow!!! Ha! Great choices as usual my friend.

    Love these posts.
