I’ve dubbed this the summer I made peace with the strapless bra. I’m sorry I just said that on the internet, but it’s the truth. I’ve always hated them but felt limited in my fashion choices by my hate. I feel like I have grown as a person. I mean, imagine the trends I would have missed out on in this season alone. Off the shoulder, I’m talking to you. Okay, in all seriousness, I realize there are far more important things in the world, but I felt like I needed to fill you in. Plus, I’m so glad I got over my aversion because this might just be one of my favorite outfits of the summer. This striped dress is seriously so chic, and it just feels very me. Don’t even get me started on the fringe heels. I die. I wore this to a fun baby shower over the weekend. I love an excuse to get dressed up!

I too have an aversion to strapless bras, but I can definitely see how this dress would make it worth it!

I was so close to getting those shoes! You look amazing. I don’t think I will ever make peace with a strapless bra though! 😉

I used to feel the same way about sleeveless top because I hated my armpits, isn’t that weird?! I remember when I finally got over it, I was so excited about everything I could wear, haha! I love this dress and so glad you can wear it now!

Those heels are so fabulous! I also hate strapless bras. I feel like they always end up around my waist!

those fringe booties are everything! Also love the easy grid print on that dress. Glad to see those are back for fall! Tory Burch has some amazing pieces in that print right now!
