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!

Cute dress! I love the way you styled it! I hear you though, strapless bras are tricky. It’s good to address it because style blogs are a good place to talk about all those ins and outs! XO

Oh my gosh! Those shoes. Gorgeous. And love the colors of the stripes. You can’t really see the red until you are up close and it’s a nice surprise.
I love this and hate strapless bras…someday I will have to though. The stripes are so classy & I love the fun fringe!

*eyes popping out of my head* SERIOUSLY CHIC! WOW! The fringe heels have me going insane! I have always loathed strapless bras as well, I never found them comfortable or felt that they looked right. The things we do for style 😉

These fringe heels are fab! I am still searching for a good strapless bra. So far, they are not shaping up very nicely, if you get my drift. It’s almost better to go without. Yes, I just said that on the internet. What I’ve been doing is not slipping my arms into the straps if the garment allows me to hide them properly. I swear it’s still better than that useless flattening iron of a strapless one I have.
Anyway, you look great in that dress 🙂

Those fringe shoes are amazing and I love your dress! You look gorgeous! I use to hate strapless bras, but when I found the right one, which actually supported and stayed in place, it changed my wardrobe… literally!

Maybe it’s the strapless bra you find that makes the difference. I find myself wearing them so much! Or maybe I just want to wear so many things that require one I don’t care. But either way this dress is so fun with the pattern!
