A Cute Striped Dress

I tried this dress on in the store the other day and I was so smitten with it that I grabbed it in two colors (this one and the white/navy version), intending to keep one and return the other. I think the red version is the winner, so I put together a little style board for how I plan to wear it. It will be cute paired with tights and a cardigan when the weather finally cools off too.

    I just took your blog class yesterday on Alt (my second class with you :) and loved it! So glad that I took that class. I’m loving that dress and that ring. I’m all about the geometrics this fall, for some reason. It just seems like a cool new take on fall fashion. Spicin’ it up a little bit.

    I love it when you come out with fashion posts right before the holiday season starts! It gives me great ideas as to what to wear… this would be awesome for our casual thanksgiving.

    That dress is super cute, but $128 is far outside my budget. Any chance you might know where to find a similar one at a cheaper price?

      I’m with you, too pricey. Here is an option I was looking at
