Striped Shirt & Camel Collaboration w/ Nines to 5

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!

I know it’s been practically a month since I last blogged, and I am so excited to be making an appearance! If all goes as planned, I will be back to a somewhat normal blogging schedule, with two posts a week, and I’ve got a couple of giveaways coming your way over the next couple of months!

I’m pretty excited to tell you about my Christmas vacation in Germany (I’m sure you all are excited, too), but today I’m kicking off the new year with a collaboration with my friend Preeti! Today we are styling a white striped top two ways.

striped shirt: H&M, similar here and here | gingham shirt: J.Crew Factory (old), similar | skirt: J.Crew Factory | purse: Kate Spade Wellesley Rachelle in Snapdragon pink (sold out), (check eBay!!) love this one | tights: Hanes, c/o | boots: Ariat, c/o | lipstick: Estee Lauder in Pink Parfait

The Breton Sailor top, is it is properly known, is one of the most versatile tops in my wardrobe. I’ve paired it with just about every shade of colored denim, plaid, polka dot chambray and herringbone–layered under and over shirts…I loved this top so much that I even got the short sleeved version of it last summer!

Last Sunday when I was putting together my outfit for the day, I was stuck as to what skirt to pair with the tops. Like any good blogger would do, I texted Preeti to ask her opinion, and she suggested pairing a camel skirt with the striped top and gingham. She then sent me a photo of her outfit, and turns out we basically had the same idea! 😀 We both paired our shirt with camel, and I added my new Christmas present as a bold pop of color. Let’s just say that love doesn’t begin to describe how much I adore this Kate Spade!!! Definitely more posts and IG pics to come #sorrynotsorry. Preeti paired her top with a camel blazer and boyfriend jeans for a stylish look that is perfect for a night out with friends. You can check out her post here!

Hope everyone will have a great week, and I can’t wait to share my travel pics from Germany this week!

Stay Classy!
