4 Ways to Wear ~ Striped Dress

For this month’s edition of 4WTW, I decided to focus on an affordable piece that you can wear now & that will easily transition into the cooler weather.  These same layering techniques would work just as easily with a solid color shift dress, if you aren’t a fan of stripes.  Check out more photos from this shoot on my Facebook page and let me know which look below is your favorite!

What I’m wearing:

Xhilaration dress (here; runs small so size up), LOFT sweater (last seen here; similar), H&M belt, BCBG booties, Vintage necklace, Tasha bracelet, Zara clutch (similar)

What I’m wearing:

Xhilaration dress (here; runs small so size up), Old Navy vest (similar) & sandals (similar), Banana Republic scarf (similar here or here), Dockers aviators (similar), Vintage clutch, Michael Kors watch, Forever 21 bracelet (here)

What I’m wearing:

Xhilaration dress (here; runs small so size up), Victoria’s Secret shirt (last seen here; this season’s colors here), H&M coat, BCBG sandals, Target necklace (similar), gifted Ray Ban wayfarers

What I’m wearing:

H&M blazer (similar), Xhilaration dress (here; runs small so size up), New York & Company skirt (last seen here & here), Guess pumps, c/o Best Personal Jewelry necklace (here), Target sunnies (similar), ASOS clutch (similar)

    I have a dress just like that from American Apparel and I am totally going to pair it underneath a skirt, or over a bright collared shirt. That just looks amazing with the statement necklace underneath. Stripes/nautical are my favorite!!

    I like the idea of wide stripes and narrow stripes together – not thought of that one before . Spots and stripes together I am a big fan of – lovely outfits! X

    Love all of these! So many great ideas… I never think to layer tops over dresses! I think my favorite is the one with the leopard scarf and vest – I bought the vest you linked to and I can't wait to wear it!

    I just love your 4WTW series! I can't believe how different you always make these pieces look! I really LOVE all of these looks but I'm particularly obsessed with the last photo with the polka dot skirt and fabulous pink blazer! Dots and stripes is one of my current favourite print mixing combos!
