Sweetly Striped

I know we're in the midst of NYFW, but I'm taking it back a few weeks with this look. One of my guilty pleasures when home includes shopping at Von Maur, but every now and then my mom will surprise me with a package-or in the case of this dress, bring it along for my birthday when she visited this past May! It's been perfect for summer, with just the right amount of playfulness and a breezy texture for hot days. The muted coloring will help it transition perfectly to fall with a pair of tights & a blazer.

P.S.-can we take a minute to admire the gorgeous Coach wedges I scored at 80% off last month? Definitely one of my better sale finds, and they were practically made for this dress.

If you've been with me for a while, you'll notice this isn't the first time I've rocked the head-to-toe blue look, though this one is considerably softer in color. While loose, these shorts are incredibly flattering and look perfect paired with a clean white sandal, soft leather clutch and pop of pink lipstick.
