My summer striped dress is one of my favorites. It has a bold placement stripe with a bit of a varsity vibe! It feels quintessentially summer!
Summer striped dress – Style Tips:
1- Find a color that suits you. Default to white, for a crisp summer vibe.
2- Consider whether yor prefer a placement stripe, such as the above, or a multi stripe. The placement stripe has more definition and is a bolder look. This is all about your own taste level.
3- Choose cotton for hot weather. If it is white, make sure it is lined as it could be sheer!
4- Mix the summer striped dress with a floral pattern, trending gingham check , or another stripe as I did. Enjoy the pattern play!
Below, the details of this summer striped dress OOTD . Note the complimentary stripe, I hope you find so!
Wear gold in summer! Gold reflects the warm sunshine! Choose a light weight straw bag. Don’t be bogged down with a heavy bag when you enjoy a summer walk !
Catching Up! I am back in the city and so happy to be here. My son just visited and I got to see my sister. The weather has cooled down a bit, as has the humidity. I am grateful, not just for the weather, but for life in general.
I just got back from a Doctor visit, and I am stable even as I am taking less toxic medication! In life, as in this photo, it is all about placement, choosing, and getting the best picture possible! I have color blocked this text to match my dress! YAY!
Everything I am wearing has sold out. I am sorry! however, I share some ideas of how to achieve a similar look below! My dress is from Gilt.com by Amelia. Two choices that have a similar look are these:
This sweet number by TOME . It just so happens to be 70% ! Remember how I advised you to buy mid season and on sale? Here is your chance!
Try this also from Current Elliot .
My cute bag, a wonderful pre- birthday gift from a friend, yes one month to the big 60, is also sold out. Option one is below from Etsy
It is priced gently at $30.38.
Option two is fabulous also. It is sophisticated, light weight and simple!
JUST TO ADD SOME CHEER I MADE A PLACEMENT STRIPE PATTERN FROM TWO PHOTOS I TOOK TODAY.
NOW THERE IT IS. MY OUTFIT OF THE DAY FOR A MID-SUMMER INSPIRATION. SUMMER STRIPED DRESS, WITH A SPLASH OF WICKER AND ZIPPED SANDALS? YES OR NO? LET ME KNOW! YOU KNOW HOW!
I HOPE THIS POST FIND YOU VERY WELL INDEED!

Ooh, this dress is perfect on you! I admire your eye for fashion.
So glad to hear that your health is stable, Elle. You are definitely looking gorgeous in that crisp summer dress, the placement of the stripes is indeed rather special. I’m also head over heels in love with your cute little bag. In fact, I almost picked up a similar (but plainer) bag during lunch break today, but then I realised it was too small to even hold my phone … xxx
That’s a wonderful summer dress, Elle, and the accessories are so stripe-y good too! xox

You look beautiful in your striped dress and I love the tips you’ve shared on wearing one, so helpful, as stripes can be a bit intimidating. I also agree with the suggestion on wearing a straw bag. I try my best to avoid my heavy leather totes when I know I’ll be walking a lot. Thanks for sharing and I hope you’re having a great week so far, beautiful!
