Let’s get to business. I have to tell you why you should try the bandana trend. I held out for a while thinking I couldn’t pull this trend off. In summer, I tend to accidentally drift toward brighter looks and away from my neutral favorites. Somehow brights end up feeling less edgy. I loved this striped off the shoulder dress (under $20!!) when I got it in the mail. I mean, so fun right?! I knew I didn’t want to add girly accessories though. Pairing my dress with a bandana added instant edge for under $5! I actually bought this in Wal-Mart for $2. They are available so many places and in all different colors. You can pair them with tees, tanks, button-up shirts – whatever! Round sunnies and other black accessories round out the look.

Such a fan of a little scarf around the neck action! Adds instant sophistication (and sauciness) to any ensemble. And I love that stripey dress!

I honestly don’t know why, but you’ve inspired me to get going on it 🙂 I love that dress, the colors, stripes, and off the shoulder combination make for such a beautiful bold summer statement piece and it looks so good on you!
