Sometimes you just need a good one and done dress that’s super adorable, fits well (i.e. flattering but breathable!) and is on trend yet chic. Introducing this striped, asymetrical cutie that’s just $35. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I’ve been wanting a one-shouldered-ish something and spied this dress recently while making returns and scooped it up immediately after checking off all the boxes for that perfect summer dress:
Stripes!
Flattering!
On-trend!
Classic!
Blue & white!
Ruffles!
Budget-friendly!
Pair it with pretty much any sandals or heels or espadrilles or wedges (you get the point) in any color. Or, how cute would this be for Memorial Day or the 4th of July with these red tassel earrings? The options are endless. Even these hot pink heels (I love the comfier block heel) come in a dozen colors and prints, all of which would look awesome paired with this.
And, can we talk about the backdrop? We took these photos one beautiful morning along the gorgeous streets of Charleston… about four minutes before I totally wiped out and sprained my ankle. I wish I had some amazing story about how it happened during my girls weekend, but nope… this girl is just clumsy. At least I got some dancing in first….
Hey, a bloggers got to blog…
GET THE LOOK
Dress: Love, Fire (runs a little large; I’m wearing an XS)
Heels: Steve Madden
Clutch: Tory Burch (similar, or this convertible clutch, or love this raffia clutch)
Beaded bracelets: Alexandra Gioia ($30)
Watch: Kate Spade (similar, or love this blush/gold on sale)
Ring: Baublebar
PS: wondering how my usual pale-ish legs are looking so tan? Seriously, these tan towels. I swiped them on about 20 minutes before this shoot in Charleston and my legs were tan the entire trip. Obsessed.

May 24, 2017 at 9:53 AMSo sorry… thought I linked! It’s these: http://bit.ly/2oVjCJJ. A few friends now use them as well and love them (I was also TERRIFIED of streaking or being an orange).

May 24, 2017 at 9:14 AMThis dress is so adorable on you! I’ve been loving one shoulder dresses. They are so much more comfy than off the shoulder ones!
