RayBan Aviators / Zara Blazer / Coach Bag (c/o) / Vintage Ferragamo Belt / F21 Skirt / Miss Me Ankle Boots /Coach Boyfriend Bracelet (gifted)

Sporting my very first DVF piece, courtesy of the StyleList Network (and fellow DVF launch partner), which I fantasize about wearing later this summer, unbuttoned and worn over my blue and white striped bikini while lounging at the beach. Aaaand, we’re back to reality.

I played around with this top for a while until I came up with an outfit I felt was right. Originally opting for a preppy look—white jeans and blue blazer—at the last minute, I decided to change it up and go with a more Victorian feel. I like the buttoned up, covered up look that still remains stylish yet structured with a romantic twist.

P.S. I am officially enamoured with the blog Atlantic-Pacific. I will admit that I couldn’t help myself, and pulled multiple (upon multiple photos) from her site onto my desktop to pop into my outfit inspiration folder. I loved how she styled this very skirt I’m wearing in the photo above. Check it out here!
