Also, I need you to know something. I can't wear button ups (or is it downs? What's the actual difference? Is it a cup half empty or full kind of thing?) under sweaters or anything else (except for cardigans). I see all of these fashion bloggers rock an awesome button up under a sweater (or even another button up), but I.can't.do.it. I look lumpy in the wrong places and even more flat chested than I already am (I'm nearing concave at this point. I hope I just made you think of Pitch Perfect.) I tried that whole put a tank top over the button up thing and no dice. It saddens me, folks. However, I can throw a sweater over something that has no buttons or pockets...kind of like this striped shirt dress from Old Navy.
In the fall, I styled it like this:
Today, I decided to style it like Wo:
Confession #1: I think I'm a bad ass when I look at this picture. Granted, I'm not sure how many people wearing jean jackets without Hell's Angels branded on the back are really bad ass, but I can pretend.
Confession #2: I stole my husband's sunglasses for this photo shoot. In my defense, I am the one who bought them. Is that reasoning really in my defense?
Confession #3: I had no idea how flattering standing on your toes actually is for pictures. Oh, the things I learn from fashion bloggers.
Confession #4: I'm having an awesome hair day.

I love this striped dress! I really like how you showed a bunch of different ways to style it. It's clearly a versatile piece!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater over dress look. I was thinking about trying this with some of my dresses instead of the cardigan over dress look I usually go with.
ReplyDeleteI prefer a sleeveless or short sleeve button down under sweaters because I always get weird lumpy arms :)
Yes! That's my problem, too. I did try a sleeveless button down, and it worked. Wahoo. There is hope for me yet :)
