white t-shirt (James Perse) | fluorescent floral skirt (Lilly Pulitzer) | crossbody bag (Burberry) | sparkly flats (Sam Edelman)

It's not every day that I wear a Lilly Pulitzer skirt (aka, close to never), but that's exactly what I sported during a casual outing a few weeks ago. To be honest, when I first purchased this skirt on sale last summer, I wasn't exactly sure how to style it. I mean, the fluorescent floral print by itself can be downright intimidating. Add in the wrong top and you have a potential fashion fiasco at your hands. And, we all know that no one wants that!

Ultimately, I opted to take a back-to-basics approach by pairing my pretty floral number with a white tee. Simple really does it. In true "me" fashion, I went a step further and knotted my t-shirt for a slightly more pulled-together look. To complement my easy-going #ootd, I accessorized with a high-shine, seafoam green crossbody bag, mirrored aviators, and sparkly ballerinas to boot. The result was a #winning look — not only was this an uber girly + fun outfit to wear on a hot summer day, but the compliments kept on coming too!

What's your favorite way to wear a white t-shirt? Are there any winning combos that you swear by? Let me know in the comments below!
