Striped Dresses

Stripes can sometimes be a tricky pattern to wear! I usually stay away from them, but this dress from Target really stood out to me. I like that the white and cobalt colors are actually pretty soft, rather than severe black and white stripes. When wearing stripes, I usually stick to two rules: either go with wider stripes with softer shades, or wear skinnier stripes in one area only, like sleeves on a shirt. 

This dress is very nautical to me...I'm looking forward to boating season at the lakes this summer! This dress could be easily transitioned into summer and early fall for cool nights by the water!

Side Note: On occasion, pups can make some of the best accessories! :) Hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing weekend!
