Dresses of a Certain Stripe

Apr 20, 2010

Miss M is obsessed with stripes.  Like, John Hinckley obsessed.  I once helped clean out her closet only to discover five of the same striped shirt in five different colors.  It was at the point that I drove her to a clinic and forced her into treatment.

I never understood her obsession with stripes until the simple pattern came back into vogue and fashion retailers started making adorable stripey dresses for Spring.  Here are some of favorites.

Macintosh Dress–also, in red (Spool No. 72, $52)

Hello, Good Day Dress (Anthropologie, $118)

Stripe Sailor Dress (Forever 21, $27)

Thread Social Striped One Shoulder Dress (ShopBop, $486)

    GoJane.com has dresses similar to #1 for really cheap – I got one for about $20. It’s stylish and extremely comfortable.

    Hi Belle! I absolutely ADORE the shopbop selection you posted. I immediately sent that link to my best friend… and we spent about 15 minutes drooling over it. The outfit is oustanding… down to the awesome shoes. This post reminded me of a Forever21 dress I have waiting for me in my wishlist!! https://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress&product_id=2070705555&variant_id=023&showBACK=OK I am dying to purchase it for the summer and add all sorts of colored belts and shoes to go with it.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
