This is my second Dress (I am finally wearing) from the items I chose. It is a T-Shirt style Dress with Classic Black+White Stripes in two different widths and a little Cobalt Color-blocking for some variety. I got it a few months ago, on clearance at Express and just like all of their Knit Dresses or T-Shirts it is quite comfy. I almost wish I got the Medium (for length) but it was too loose for me overall. At 5.7'' and with my long legs, this Dress feels a little short, but as a Stay-at-Home Mom for Coffee, Grocery Shopping and some little errands close to home isn't bad. I didn't mean to wear Orange 3 days in a row either (this same Sweater with a Black Shirt-dress the day before, or yesterday's Graphic Tee paired with Leather), but it just happened to be that way. I am posting each Outfit in their chronological order, by the way. For some mild Pattern-mixing, I added just one of my many New Scarves from this Spring. This was given to me by a Local Boutique (along 2 other Scarves). I love that it is Floral and in such pretty Colors too. Perfect for Floral Week which I am linking to. What do you think of this Outfit? Are Stripes OK to mix with Florals and Polka Dots? I think it's fine as long as one Pattern stands out. My other 2 Patterns are through the Accessories.
Pros: It is a Spring Outfit. The Mixing of Colors (Black, White, Coral, Cobalt & Lavender) worked out. It was very easy to wear and very comfortable.
Cons: Some of the photos are a little blurry and out of focus (these were taken with the old camera, again - sorry).
