{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.

  24. 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? 🙂
