Candy Striper

{ZARA Dress and Heels (old, but similar here), H&M Earrings (similar), J. CREW Necklace (had this for YEARS and LOVE it!), CAMBRIDGE SATCHEL Bag}

It’s hard for me to resist a bold stripe, so I knew I had to have this dress as soon as I saw it. This is one of the funnest (pretty sure that’s not a word, but stick with me) pieces in my current rotation. I paired it with matchy-matchy red shoes and bag, along with copious amount of pearl accessories.

About the Fit:
This dress runs very true to size and has a slightly fishtail hem that provides a little extra coverage in the back. It’s more of a trapeze shape with no waist line, which means you’ll have to cinch it with a belt if you want more definition. I’ve worn it that way as well and love how it looks. I opted to skip the belt on this particular occasion because I knew I’d be sitting at a desk all day and wanted to be comfy. If the red is a bit bold for your taste, the dress also comes in hunter green and is just perfect for this time of year.
