Hello dear readers! Apologies for being away from AsianCajuns for so long. Immediately after moving I had to go out of town for work and am still unpacking and organizing. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful twin sister that picks up the slack when I’m buried under boxes and furniture.
Outfit: Bf’s aviators, shirt from Limited Too (13 years ago!!!), American Apparel skirt, H&M belt and Dolce Vita shoes.
I have yet to unpack all of my accessories so my outfits have been a little bland as of late. The photo above was taken before the move when I still knew where my sunglasses and belts were. The shirt is from middle school (it was not as fitted back then), but I can’t seem to part with it because it’s so classic.
Picasso and Hepburn were fans of the black and white stripes:
Same goes for Audrey Tautou as Chanel (navy and white is equally as timeless):
As much as I love my 13-year-old Limited Too version, I’d like a black and white piece that’s a little less fitted. I love this Rebecca Minkoff shirt. It would look great tucked into a black pencil skirt for work or un-tucked with black shorts and a boater hat for the weekend.
It’s a little too warm in Atlanta to justify buying a sweater, but I love the boyfriend cut of this Vince sweater. I’m really tempted to buy the Gemma dress because it has a pocket in it – I love pockets in dresses!
Come to think of it, I’m going hold off on buying anymore clothes for a while. I need to find room for the clothes I do have. The “walk-in” closet in my apartment is more like an entryway into the bathroom. I think I’ll have to store my shoes under my couch – eesh!
I’ll be taking photos of my new place once I paint the walls and get the artwork hung. My goal is to have it all done by the end of the month. Here’s hoping!
You look gorgeous, kittyCath and tres chic. So glad you are back home!
You look Great ! The stripes are very French. Love it.

Stripes are definitely having their moment in the sun this season! You look fantastic in your striped tee–I can’t believe it’s lasted 13 years.

hello darlings, have you missed me? I love that you did a post about stripes. As you well know, I’m obsessed and wear them nearly every day! You look just gorgeous and I love those shoes!
WE’VE MISSED YOU.
Well, I can’t speak for the rest of the I-Netz, but I definitely missed you. But that’s okay, Lar dropped in enough for the both of you. I love you girls.
I love that striped shirt, too. It’s so quintessential, and yet I still haven’t snagged the perfect striped long sleeve or short sleeve top in FOREVER. So stupid.
🙂
I can’t get enough of stripes this summer!
Welcome back! I. Hate. Moving. But striped sailor shirts are the jam!! And that dress with the pockets is super cool. Not to be a bad influence, but you should robocop it. Plus the pocket makes it even that more of a practical purchase, right?
i’m loving stripes lately, too:) love ur simple and chic outfit!

We missed you at lunch the other day! And man, this makes me wish I had some of my Limited Too pieces from back in the day. Outside of the sparkly things, they had some pretty nice duds for teens.
And I am seriously obsessed with striped shirts this season. I keep plotting purchases of new ones despite my collection. Whoops.
