Summer Stripes

When you find a dress that has two of your favorite summer trends, you scoop it up and wear it every day all day. Or at least that’s how I feel about this adorable off the shoulder number from Forever 21. 

I packed this striped off the shoulder dress for literally every trip I took last month and never got the chance to wear it. It almost made it’s debut in Paris but we got rained out so I opted for jeans and a tee instead. And then in Tulum last week, I thought this would be the perfect casual dress for dinner but we ended up just hanging out at the house and eating on the beach (not a bad Plan B). Either way, I’ve been dying to wear this cute little summery number and decided to finally bust it out for lunch last week. 

I  love the blue and white stripes and the super subtle nautical vibe. I’m also obviously a fan of the little slits in the front and the off the shoulder detail. It just has everything I could ask for in a simple summer dress. I’m actually a firm believer that every girl needs at least one striped off the shoulder dress in her closet to round off her summer wardrobe. It’s easy + lightweight + versatile + did I mention cute?
