Marina del Rey, CA

This Monday, I’m looking on the bright side with bold stripes and a splashy color combo.

I spent an afternoon at Marina del Rey, catching up with friends and grabbing lunch outside on the docks. This nearby oasis always reminds me a bit of home and so, my outfit here reflects my preppier, New England roots. The classic silhouette of this turtleneck dress from Free People is chic and figure-flattering—and the best part about it? I found it at Marshalls for half the price! I styled it with cutout Dolce Vita Oxfords from Anthropologie, round sunglasses (I can’t get enough of this retro style right now) and a striped clutch. I think it’s fun to reinvent classic looks with the addition of a new accessory. Whoever said you can have too much of a good thing is crazy! I say when it works, layer it on.
