Step out in summer stripes with Dakota's skirt by Tularosa

Lets let Dakota show us the way to perfect summertime style nirvana with her casual tanned leather slides, ladylike purse and casual striped skirt.

We are in the thick of this muggy heat and sometimes it's difficult to maintain a polished look but Dakota teaches us that all it takes is a floaty light-weight skirt to do the trick.

Hers in particular is by Tularosa, and with its button front closures, hand pockets and fold-over waistline-- we happen to think it's worth every last penny of the affordable $130 price tag.

Her skirt stopped just below the knee to flash a little leg and she teamed it with tan leather sandals.

Her blonde locks were tied up in a ponytail and she donned some shades to protect her eyes from the California sun.

Dakota - who's currently dating British model Jamie Strachan - is next set to star in the film The Bell Jar with fellow former child star Kirsten Dunst.

The actress - who is the elder sister of Elle Fanning, 18 - will play mentally-unstable Esther Greenwood in the adaptation of Sylvia Plath's sole 1963 novel.

Dunst will also make her feature film directorial debut with the flick. 

Incredibly busy on the career front, Dakota will also likely head to the Toronto International Film Festival next month for the premiere of her revenge western Brimstone alongside Kit Harington and Guy Pierce.

The Georgia-born blonde will next play teenage political terrorist Merry Levov in Ewan McGregor's directorial debut American Pastoral with Jennifer Connelly, David Strathairn, and Uzo Aduba.
