Nautical Military.

I have enjoyed wearing Dresses so much these last few days. As the Ultimate Lover of Dresses and someone who owns A TON of them, creating Outfits with them and going bare-legged has been great. But since Tuesday May 13th (when this Outfit was worn), the weather changed upside-down, bare legs and Spring Dresses no more. The temperatures dropped from 75 to 55 and with the wind-chill it has felt about 45. We are back to wearing Coats and Boots so unfortunately some of my Outfits next week will not be very Springy.

There is something so Chic, Classic and Easy-Elegance about both a Black Dress and Black+White Stripes. I always connect Black+White or Navy+White Stripes as well as Red+White Stripes to both France and the US. The French wear their B+W Stripes to perfection. And the Americans connect their B+W Stripes to both the Flag giving a Patriotic Feel (especially if they are Red+White or Navy+White) or Nautical, giving that Classy Americana Vibe. And a LBD is the easiest Dress a Woman can and should wear. Fortunately my LBD today also has Classic, Nautical, B+W Stripes on the top part. I love the easy, light Jersey and the blouson feel of the Dress. I added a Little Trendy, Modern Military Jacket (by a favorite store of mine WHBM. Here is this year's version of my Black Military Blazer, almost identical to mine.) The only other time this dress was worn on the blog in a simple Summer Outfit with Flip Flops. This time I added some touches of Green. It was the perfect Dress to wear as a wrap-up for the Nautical-themed week with Andi and Laura. 

This week my Outfits have been all about Blue, Green and Dresses. (Well, Stripes too - check the Collage below of the 3 Different Outfits).
