I can't believe this is the first time I managed to take outfit pictures in this dress because I've been wearing it constantly ever since it arrived on my doorstep in March. It's one of those dresses that works perfectly by itself (the stripes changing direction at the waist means I haven't even felt like I needed a belt to define the waist--and I always feel like I need a belt) but is also simple enough that it can serve as a wardrobe staple ripe for mixing and matching with all my various cardigans and shoes ;) Oh and it's super comfy, so 100 bonus points right there.
