Who would’ve guessed that National Stripes Day, Summer Solstice, National Wear your Lilly Day, and National Yoga day would all end up being on the same day? Not me.

I’m not complaining though. I have a wonderful deep love for all of these things. I’m especially excited for the hot summer days ahead, and there is no more a perfect print for pool days and warm nights than stripes.

Last weekend Josh and I took Jasmine for a picnic on the beach. It was the prefect evening of relaxing, hanging out with our pup and watching the sunset. We packed a striped Harth & Hand Magnolia towel that doubled as the perfect picnic blanket and an assortment of fruits and snacks. Previously I did a post on how to plan the perfect picnic, which you can read here.

I believe a simple striped t-shirt is something everyone should own. You can pair it with just about anything, even a bright linen skirt. Last year I wore this same top on #nationalstripesday paired with jean shorts and a straw hat. You can see that outfit here.
