Evening Stripes

H&M Jacket. Joie Dress. Miu Miu Wedges. Tory Burch Purse. Michael Kors Watch. Free People Sunglasses. 

I originally bought this Joie maxi dress for my honeymoon, but naturally it's already made a few debuts (I have a hard time not wearing new items of clothing). It is unbelievably soft and will make for the perfect car ride attire during our drive down to Palm Springs. While I plan to wear this dress with flip flops down south, I toughened it up with a bold lip (Make Up For Ever #40) and my faux-leather jacket for a more city appropriate look.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! This looks so great on you and I am crazy about the dress. So cute. I know exactly what you mean the second I have new clothes it takes all of my self control to not wear them. I am currently having this problem with a dress I bought to wear to a wedding in July.

Adore this outfit, that dress is total perfection!! And I'm off to buy that lip color righthisminute!

I am really impressed that you have a hard time not wearing new things, I wish I was more like you. I have a hard time getting them out of the closet, my instinct is to save them and keep them shiny and new forever. I know, it's totally crazy.

Lainey said...

i wish i could pull off big bold stripes like this. You look fantastic as always.

suzanne said...

that dress makes you look super tall! i love it! and the lip color is the perfect compliment; a great way to make your outfit pop a bit.
