This under $30 striped shirt dress had me wondering if I was headed out or off to bed—as it looks like a night gown at first but with a little styling magic, it’s now one of my most versatile summer pieces!

Shop the look:
• Blue & white striped shirt dress
• Long necklace
• White New Balance sneakers
• Straw tote bag
• Denim jacket

Great for travel, market days, or even as a beach cover-up!

Travel for 15 days with only carryon luggage. My two tone backpack is from Italy a few years ago but I found one similar in my LTK shop for you.

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!

@coldwater scarf in a beautiful watercolor print is perfect to dress up or down an outfit.

Adirondack chairs with cup holders and foot stools from Amazon! Add a couple of cute pillows and the backyard is ready.

Perfect for summer evenings! Made for all weather and come in lots of different colors too!

Wooden base with Hammock is a must for your backyard. It is my happy place 😁
