WIWW – Summer Floral & Stripes

There is just something about a good striped dress that makes me happy!  
 I found this dress at the Gap last season and fell quickly in love.  It is perfect for the office layered with a cardigan.

 Last season I would not have been brave enough to pair the stripes with floral shoes but I’m feeling much braver this season.  These shoes have quickly become a favorite and really add some interest to the same old outfit.

 Pockets…..give me all the pockets!  I love pockets and would probably have them on just about every piece of clothing I own if possible.  I think it comes from being a tad introverted most of my life and it gave me something to do with my hands when standing around in a group.  
 This dress is several seasons old from Loft but I’m still just as crazy about it as I was on day one!  I think this was the beginning of my realization that an A-line dress was the best fit for my 40-something figure.

 Of course the Kimberly necklace and my Star Mela clutch definitely make it a little more fun.  
 This clutch was definitely a price per wear purchase!  I have been planning outfits around it ever since I purchased.  It is just the perfect summer accessory.

Sleeveless in Texas is always a plus! 
Are you comfortable with mixing patterns?  I have always been a “matchy, matchy” girl so this really took some time for me to be brave enough to try.  Now I’m afraid I may take it a little too far sometimes but I do think this combo works perfectly.  
Here are a few other fun striped dresses perfect for summer!
