As you may have learnt by now, this girl loves her stripes. Thick, thin, coloured, chevron – I’ll take it. So naturally I am drawn to this Trenery cotton shirt dress. It’s a little loose in shape so good in this heat. Petite ladies can probably get away with it as is (would look swell with a fedora) but I also like it belted (think red, navy, tan) if you have more of an hourglass shape.  And don’t be put off by the wide stripes – they can work.  Throw on some sandals, ballets flats or a wedge heel and a cool pair of sunglasses and you’re good to go. I also think it will work well in the cooler months layered over long sleeve tees or shirts – something like this.

I realise I’ve done a lot of black and white finds lately but other than it being a classic palette- it is also all the rage for the next spring/summer (here and here).

Hope you have a great long weekend x
