blue and white striped shirt dress with straw hat, Valentino white gladiator lace up sandals, white YSL monogram chain wallet, striped shirt dress with lace up sandals outfitWhen summer rolls around, I tend to get a little–ok, very–obsessed with anything striped: T-shirts, dresses, pants, doesn’t matter—I like it all (I even recently found the cutest striped necktie scarf!) To me, blue and white stripes are the quintessential pattern of summer and always will be. I’ve been looking for a shirt dress version for awhile, so as soon as I came across this style, it was a no-brainer.blue and white striped shirt dress, YSL white monogram chain wallet clutch, shirt dress with straw hat outfitSo, here’s a funny story…when I put on this dress and headed out in the living room to tell my husband I was ready to go, he looked at me and said, “Are you going to put on pants?” I had to explain what a shirt dress is and go online to show him the product details for proof, ha! The sides do go up a little high on the side, but it’s definitely long enough to be a dress—however, if you want to wear it as a shirt, that would also definitely work (especially if you are taller).blue and white striped shirt dress, YSL white monogram chain wallet clutch, striped shirt dress with straw boater hatblue and white striped shirt dress with straw boater hat, Valentino white Rockstud lace up sandals, white YSL monogram clutchJ.

For additional styling ideas, I think blue and white stripes are also great with tan/cognac details or even a pop of bright red (Fourth of July outfit inspo, perhaps?) Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for reading!
