Happy Friday, my friends! The weekend couldn’t arrive soon enough…I’m so excited for what we have planned! My sister is recently engaged, and flying to Dallas to shop for wedding dresses. Babygirl and I are coming along for a full-blown girlie-day of bridal appointments and fancy lunches. Can. Not. Wait.
Several weeks ago, I featured this cute striped dress in a Fashion Friday moodboard, and several of you asked if I’d create a Five Ways post for it. Since I’m super smitten with the dress, it didn’t take much persuasion. One of my top requirements when shopping is that the piece be versatile. It doesn’t have to match everything in my closet, but I need to be able to mix it in with several options, and dress it up and down.
I had no problems doing that with this dress…in fact, I had a hard time narrowing down the looks to only five. This go-round, I added more neutral and conservative options.

{Parties & Showers}
{Sunday Brunch}
Pendant Necklace | Cognac Bag (similar)
{Business}
Pearl Cluster Necklace | Quilted Bag (similar)
{Saturday Shopping}
Are you convinced of the dress’s versatility? Quite the bang for your $50 buck! It runs a tad big..I’m 5’4″ and wearing a size 0 regular. If you want a bit more length, consider ordering the ‘tall.’
Update: Use code HAPPY for 25% off…that makes the dress $35!
Which is your favorite look? I love it worn as a skirt with the gingham top tied around my waist (who’s surprised by that??), but was surprised at how much I liked it with the tennies, too. I know this is two fashion posts in one week, but I wanted to get this one in before the dress sells out. However, my goal is not to make you rush out and buy this dress (although, it really is a cute one!), but to look at your wardrobe with a new and fresh perspective. There are so many new outfits already waiting there! Happy weekend, lovebugs!

Eek….I'm so excited you posted this!! I bought this dress when you first recommended…I'm 5'7" and ordered the tall so it would be work friendly. I absolutely love it and can't wait to try some of these new looks!
So glad to hear the tall works for you lucky girls with some height!
I love all the outfits, very pretty and functional. Thanx for the inspiration. I also just sent you an email, please look at it when you get a chance.

Beautiful!! I love all of these looks. I've said it before and i'll say it again…you are the best at creating so many looks from one item of clothing!
Have a good weekend!
I'm not sure if it's a gift or a sickness! 😉
Oh my holy cuteness! I love this series you do! The dress is so versatile, but I would have never thought to wear it as a skirt! So clever!
You're looking at your dresses with new eyes now, right?! I love that trick…really gets a lot more wear out of things!
Oh this is so cute – love the Saturday shopping look with the tennies!
I'm wearing this dress to a wedding tomorrow with an orange statement necklace and grey cage heels!
