Reading about everyone’s tropical vacations this summer when the furthest I’m destined to travel is Northern Kentucky (which yes, is just as exciting as it sounds. As in not at all.) has been a bit depressing. I like hot weather and beaches and drinks with umbrellas in them, too!
One third of my prayers was answered when it got up to the 90′s this past weekend, so I decided to look on the bright side and do it up tropical style my darn self. There’s nothing wrong with pretending every now and then, right? I paired this brightly colored parrot-print skirt with a military-inspired bustier and ate all the ice cream I could handle.
Vintage skirt and jewelry, Grey Ant bustier, Ash sandals.
If you’re stuck wherever you are too, you can still shop tropical:

If you’re going somewhere warm/beachy/just plain fab, tell me so I can live vicariously through you. Thank you for your consideration.

Yes honey, a vacation is sorely needed. I think I’ll make a tropical cocktail and listen to Jimmy Buffet in my living room. That’s as close as I can get. Love those sandals, btw!
Now you have Billy Ocean stuck in my head…LOL
Oh, this is fantastic, I could so use a vacation. Just today I was dreaming of pink cocktails on a white sandy beach. I love the tropical prints!
Not tropical, but I just posted about my Russian River getaway…and it was definitely warm and fab!
Skirt is definitely tropical – and deserves a vacation with you in the Aruba! Your shoes and top(s?) give more of a femme gladiator effect – I’d luv these two with white capri leggins. Girl, YOU style anyway!
You are just so awesome! I love it! Also love the latest issue!
seriously loving this outfit! so eclectic! i dont know which part of the outfit is my favorite!! xx
