Striped Dress Week: Hunter Green Striped Dress from Summer to Fall + Linkup.


Welcome to Thursday Fashion Files!

Welcome to Thursday Fashion Files with Jill at Doused in Pink and Carrie at Curly Crafty Mom! We are excited to have you here and would love to have you link up one of your latest outfits with us.

We are always looking for Co-Hosts for Thursday Fashion Files. If you haven't signed up to Co-Host, but are interested, sign up by clicking HERE.


As I write this, it is a very cold Wednesday night here in Michigan and to me it feels like the first true Fall day, since the day was chilly and the wind was very high, too. I am completely covered with a warm and thick fleece blanket as I type this. It is also September 30th which means September is wiped away. Just like that. Another thing happening today is that I am co-hosting the Thursday Fashion Files with the Lovely Ladies of Curly Crafty Mom and Doused in Pink. If you do not follow these two ladies yet, you should. Jill and Carrie are both super stylish, they are mothers like myself, they are on a real budget and their blogs have a little bit of everything. So yeah I am scheduling the link-up to go live for tonight, but it will be midnight soon so all Thursday long, you are stuck with me as your co-host.
So, if you haven't made a stop at your local Old Navy this Fall, run there! Their Fall collection is gorgeous, totally on trend, pretty well-made and perfectly chic. I may have gone there a couple of times myself and yes I did add several new things to my closet. This Hunter Green+Navy Striped Dress was one of them. This shade of Green is supposed to be huge this Fall. I wore a similar shade last week, too. 

I first wore this dress a couple of days ago and it was another windy day as you can see from my pictures. But it was in the 70s so I paired it with some Olive Green Thong Sandals for a Monochromatic Look and I added a pop of Fuchsia via my Fuchsia+Gold Striped Silk Belt (Sandals and Belt are from Old Navy, too). I dressed up the ensemble a little bit with some Silver and Crystal pieces (Necklace, Bracelets and Chandelier Earrings). I love this Necklace by Givenchy - it is a beautiful little piece that makes a punch! Also, this Monochrome look is perfect to link with Jac for her "Spotlight Weekly" whose theme is "Monochromatic" for tomorrow.

The second outfit is what I actually wore (earlier) today. And trust me the layered wool-blend cape I put over the dress was necessary. For a day in the low to mid 60s with crazy winds (that made it feel about 50 degrees), I bundled up by pairing the Dress with another new piece - this Gorgeous New Cape I purchased at Forever 21 a couple of days ago. The Colorblocked stripes of the Cape worked well with the Hunter Green+Navy Stripes of the Dress since most of the stripes of the cape are navy. Overall I liked all the Dark, definitely Fall-ish Colors of this Outfit. I played off the Maroon of the Cape by wearing my Burnt Orange Fedora and my Cognac Suede Fringe Boots. My Brown Patchwork Coach Cross-body worked flawlessly into this Outfit, too. I am a huge fan of this outfit. It is new to me, but I can see this type of outfit become a Fall uniform. My friend Whitney with Casey and Carrie are doing a "Create 28 Fall Looks" challenge and the first prompt is "Favorite Go To Look" which for me is this look.

The Jewelry:
Gold Tone Pave Collar Necklace w/ 3 large Pearls: Givenchy (very similar by BCBGeneration, great deal, my favorite), (similar by F21, best deal), (similar).
Silver+Crystal Chandelier Earrings: White House Black Market (similar by JC Penney), (gorgeous option by Swarovski, on huge sale, my favorite), (similar, great deal, love these).

Fuchsia+Gold Silk Shantung Striped Sash Belt: Old Navy.
Gold Tone Pave Collar Necklace w/ 3 large Pearls: Givenchy (very similar by BCBGeneration, great deal, my favorite), (similar by F21, best deal), (similar).

The Accessories:

Brown Leather Patchwork Small Cross-body Logo Bag: Coach (similar, best deal, love this), (similar by The Sak, my favorite), (current gorgeous option by Coach, Splurge).

  1. I love how versatile this dress is! I like how you styled it in two different ways. I am jealous that it is starting to feel like fall for you, as it is still in the 90s and even 100s here in Los Angeles!
