{Outfit Inspiration} Brights & Stripes

You don’t have to hang around this blog long to realize I have a thing for stripes. And clearly I love color. So for today’s {Outfit Inspiration}, I married the two….a match made in bright, stripey Heaven, if you ask me!

I am drawn to bright and cheery colors, and combining them with stripes makes them even peppier, with a touch of preppy. This dress even throws in a ruffle! All it needs is pockets and my head would explode with dress perfection.

I grabbed the dress after posting about this unexpected store. Granted I’m probably highly flammable, but fashion is risks, people!

I figured there was no blending in for me, so I piled on the accessories for an even more obnoxious over-the-top look. I love the additional pattern of the black and white bangle.

    Awesome! I'm a huge fan of both stripes and colour so this is a big winner. Doesn't hurt that you look gorgeous and make the dress look damn good.

    Adorable! Love these bold stripes. Are those brightly colored chevron blankets in one of the small pictures in the middle of the post? I want… maybe, they probably cost a small fortune. 🙂

    I'm definitely waaaay behind on my blog reading, but I had to comment to tell you how much I LOVE the dress and the post. This is my favorite of your outfit/room series so far! Stripes make me way happy, too… but isn't that the blogger uniform? 🙂
