I have a suspicion I've used this post title before, but oh well, it works too perfectly.
Now, I don't like to get too patriotic with my looks, but after seeing Nnenna's pink with stripes, it seemed like the perfect substitute while still feeling festive.
Starfish cuff is a given these days, along with a knotted top... is my style getting stale? Haha, you'd think I was doing the 30 for 30 or something!
The pearls on this top rebelled against me the last time I washed it (in a garment bag, on the gentle cycle) and I had to spend 40 minutes sewing them back into place this morning.

I would swear that you were somewhere in the Caribbean with that look! I love all the little details :)
Gorgeous summer shots!
I love that skirt & how you've styled it with the striped top.
Thanks for your lovely comments

You look so feminime :) Love it!
That's just the kind of skirt you want to swirl around with ^^
You look lovely! Hope you had a great 4th of July!
Casual and chic outfit. Loving the skirt and the whole vibe.
Belated HAPPY 4TH OF JULY.

The skirt is such a beautiful colour, I would never have thought of teaming it with stripes.
Nice outfit !

Not only do you look gorgeous but you just solved a lingering fashion dilemma for me. I'm a skirt lover and I like pairing my skirts with loose tops but it means extra fabric bundled beneath and a lot of creative ways of trying to smooth that down. But a knot? Simply genius. I am so gonna rock that look this weekend!
Happy 4th pretty lady.

Very pretty Lyddie !
I find it very refreshing and comfortable to tie my tops when I do not know what else to do with them ! :)
I hope you sewed those pearls back on with some type of plastic or nylon threading or I think you will be spending another 40 minutes sewing pearls in the near future...
AND you can wear that cuff as many times as you like, I am actually googling one for one.
So, where is Chloe this morning ? is she taking your picture ?
I love this outfit! That nail polish color is amazing!
Starfish forever!

That is a perfect outfit for the Fourth. Love the striped top, in particular.
Hope you had a nice day :)
I'm loving all of your lovely beach bunny looks lately. This is gorgeous and a super fun post! Hope you had a fab fourth!
This is a great outfit. I'm really loving the tied blouse with your skirt. And that smile! Stunning--hello, Julia Roberts.

perfect outfit for a beach day. Love your hat and the pearls on your blouse...totally worth the 40+ minutes sewing them back on
You look ready for the beach and the starfish cuff is still on my list. I recently attempted your signature knot and fell in love, but no one does it better then you. I love the straw bag I'm still on the hunt for one.
I hope you had a WONDERFUL 4th of July!! ;)
Nice ensemble!
I think we can let the starfish cuff and striped tank tops slide since it is, after all, summer! So go wild. :) You look great. I want to go to wherever you shot these pictures. Right now. With my bikini and a cocktail.
I'm off to go view the larger version of that picture. I'm so creepy. I bet I'm the only one who is going to do this.
Good for you for knowing how to sew! I am hopeless in that department. Great 4th of July outfit- I love how you made it your own with pink instead of red and I am still yet to try the tied up shirt- soon!
Oh I'm glad you were able to fix the top because it's super cute! I really like the way the stripes look when it's knotted too. Hope you had a fabulous holiday!!

beach chic at its finest
and glad to know u did get the starfish cuff (it looks great)
Definitely not stale at all--I think the starfish and the stripes look perfectly fresh! (And as for the knots, I might be biased since I seem to have a wee obsession with knotting stuff too.)
Love this! You're right - it's festive but not too patriotic (shudder). I'm obsessed with full skirts lately - particularly ones with pockets. It's a bit of a problem! Anyway, hope you had a happy and fun 4th!

I love the starfish cuff, keep on wearing it! I never thought to do pink instead of red. Maybe I'll do that next year.
Ugh I hate it when the washing machine ruins things... I wreck half my clothing in it even when I follow the care instructions on the tag.
I love this outfit!! The color of the skirt mixed with the stripes is so pretty.

I love that outfit even without the bracelet, but the bracelet is just stunning! What a great find :)
Lovely coloured skirt!
