straw bag – The Sol Compass

When I saw these adorable stripes at J.Crew, I knew I totally had to have them. Confession: this is actually intended as a beach cover-up and not an adorable tunic-like top (crazy, I know!) But I think it totally works in more settings than just as a coverup. Caitlin over at Southern Curls & Pearls actually wore it as a dress here and it looked super cute. I’m too tall to be able to pull off the dress by itself outside a beach environment, since it is a bit on the short side, but I totally love it with white jeans and think it makes for a great seaside look.
