I’m so thrilled that this day has finally come! Welcome to the very first installment of the Mix It Mondays linkup! To kick things off, I’m sharing three ways I’ve styled a staple in any woman’s closet: a basic black and white striped tee. 
I kept it super-casual while visiting my family in California. Paired with a long cargo jacket and some comfy faux leather detail leggings, this look was perfect for a laid-back lunch and walking around historic downtown Auburn.
Top: Jones New York, Jacket: Forever 21 (similar), Leggings: c/o Legwear Loft, Boots: York c/o Ariat, Purse: Tory Burch (similar), Sunglasses: Cole Haan via Nordstrom Rack (similar), Watch: c/o Wristology, Necklace: Stella & Dot Somervell
But this isn’t the only time I’ve rocked my little striped tee. It’s been my go-to top for Fall and Winter!

My favorite black and white tee just got a huge hole in it (sad!) so I need to replace it ASAP…I love the way you styled yours!
Love all three looks–they are all so different, which shows how versatile the top really is! Super cute!
A striped tee is a classic! You can do so many things with it like you have shown here. Looking forward to this challenge next Monday. I am working on remixing my closet, so this will be a great incentive for me!
I love this idea Lauren!
Yay for b&w striped tees! I love remixing — it’s a way of life, right? — so I’m happy you’ve started this linkup 😀
I love all three looks, Lauren, especially the white vest! The striped T is such a classic and a definite must have! Thanks for hosting the link up!

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get
setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100%
positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
