Pinwheels and Pleats

I'm wearing pinwheels and pleats today:





The pleats are courtesy of my vintage skirt and the pinwheels are courtesy of this a LOFT blouse:


Well, pinwheels or something like it.


I paired the red blouse and the white skirt with a blue belt and blue sandals:



I love to wear red, white and blue during the summer; it is a such a great, classic summer color combination.  But, it can also be a bit hard to wear this time of year without looking as though Betsy Ross is your tailor.


Blouse: LOFT (similar)  Belt: Old Navy (similar)
Skirt: thrifted vintage (similar)  Sandals: ZiGi girl (similar)

My advice?  Skip the flag print muscle tees and star print cut-offs, at least (especially?) for work.  No, save those pieces for the barbecue, and instead try a red and white printed piece with white and blue solids like I did.  Or, if you're feeling especially adventurous, even a red, white and blue printed piece. 

You can see some of my favorite seasonally-appropriate but also work-appropriate pieces below.  (Hover to see brands/prices).


Happy Wednesday, All!
