How to Wear a Red Striped Shirt | Aveiro, Portugal

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend. After a quick brunch to celebrate our anniversary, I flew out to New York for some work meetings over the next few days. I’ll also be squeezing in a couple of NYFW shows and events at the end of the week. Best of all, I’ll be able to see some of my NYC friends. It’s absolutely my favorite aspect of traveling! Meanwhile, in today’s post, I’m sharing a fun spin on how to wear a red striped shirt.

Often, when wearing a bold, primary color, it’s easy to try and mute the rest of the outfit. To mix it up, try adding contrasting hues and embrace the look! This yellow midi skirt and turquoise earrings were the perfect compliment for this off shoulder red stripe skirt. The neutral accessories allow the colors to pop even more. The bag (also worn in this post) is definitely a new favorite, and I love the mission behind the brand!

These photos were taken in Aveiro, Portugal. It’s the most charming town and often referred to as the Venice of Portugal because of the canals. We spent the day wandering the waterfront and enjoying a few restaurants and cafés. It’s not too far from Porto, so if you are ever able to spend time in Portugal, I highly recommend taking a quick detour to Aveiro!
