Idalia-Lee

It may be technically fall, but we’re still having summer weather, so today I’m taking a look at a casual, striped top from this year’s spring/summer collection from Miss Candyfloss.

The Kacey-Wisteria is a lovely, stretchy top with just a hint of off-the-shoulder playfulness in a soft shade of lavender. I paired it here with the Idalia-Lee skort from last year, but it goes well with so many other things in my wardrobe, from skirts to jeans!

I kept my accessories fairly simply, with a RockLove Jewelry water lily necklace, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:

I loved the Juliette-Rose dress so much that I knew I needed to add this top to my wardrobe…they’re very similar!

The back neckline of the shirt mirrors the front:

I love the nautical vibe of this look!

I’m looking forward to wearing this top under jackets once it cools off, too!

I have been wanting to get a Miss Candyfloss skort (part skirt, part shorts, if you’re unfamiliar with the term) for a while now, but the Idalia-Lee, my favorite from this year’s “Viva Rita” collection, sold out super fast in multiple sizes. When I saw that it was back in stock in a size smaller than I usually wear, I decided to take a chance since the size chart for this particular item is pretty generous. It ended up being a good decision, because my regular size would have been way too big on me! It’s a beautiful shade of navy blue that will go with just about anything, but in some lights, you get some hints of purple, too! From the front, it basically looks like a skirt:

From the back, however, you see the built-in shorts!

I chose some mint accessories, to pick up the color in the Cleona-Floria blouse, including my fascinator and stack of Splendette Duchess bangles. I also added an Erstwilder brooch in a very neutral gold:
