The Stripe Obsession Continues

You all know I have a major obsession with white and blue stripes. I came across this dress on ASOS earlier this week, and I had to order it. 

The WhitePepper Peplum Hem Mini Dress In Stripe $99.00

And then I saw this one, and I had to order it too. 

 Oasis Denim Trim Striped Dress $68.00

And then I just kept pursuing all the other navy and white striped things I could find. I came across this dress. It reminds me of something Blair Eadie of the blog Atlantic Pacific would wear. It's crazy fabulous, but it also requires a really, really good set of abs. Not sure I could pull this off, but I am tempted to try. If only I had an occasion to wear it.

ASOS Stripe Cut Out Midi Prom Dress $109.00

Then there is this one. It would be a great work dress....if I went to an office everyday.

Oasis Utility Stripe Shirt Dress $81.00

And lastly, this romper is pretty fabulous. I don't own a romper, but this one is tempting me.

Jack Wills Stripe Romper $135.00

What I Wore

Over the weekend the opportunity finally came for me to wear my fabulous backless dress that I got from ASOS a few months ago (remember the preview post?).  

I have some serious respect for bloggers who regularly post pictures of themselves. I feel completely ridiculous trying to get a good shot, but here are some of my attempts. 

I wore the dress with my gold Ferragamo sandals (seen here), a turquoise Angela Caputi bracelet and grandmother's gold clutch. I will definitely be wearing the dress again soon. It's fun, comfortable and made me feel really good about myself (bonus)!

Stay tuned later this week for a summary of our trip to San Diego!

Dress Me Up

I've been on the dress hunt. Remember this dress I posted a while back for a reader who was looking for a maid of honor dress (post here).

AQ AQ Peplum Dress 

Well, I ordered it, and it is fabulous! I have never felt like a dress fit me so well and flattered my figure better. It has taken me a long time to figure out that strapless doesn't play up my best assets. Instead, I've decided that backless and plunging necklines are my go-to's. Find what works and stick to it!  

Since I will be wearing this dress in a few weeks for a wedding, I am only giving you a sneak peek. You will have to wait for a "What I Wore" post! 

In the same ASOS order, I also ordered this fabulous dress. 

ASOS Shift Dress

I really wanted to keep it, but I bought this ASOS triangle shift dress last year, and it's exactly the same silhouette and also happens to be black and white. 

Once again, I've found a style that flatters my figure, and who doesn't love an exposed zipper! I really do want to keep it, but can't justify it. If this dress goes on sale, it will definitely be mine. 

 I am sure I will kick myself when it's sold out...
