Striped Dresses Week: Pink Striped Dress and Pink Link-up.

Hi. Did you all have a good weekend? We just got back from a weekend in Windsor, Canada, about an hour ago. I want to wrap up Dress Week with a couple of Summery Striped Dresses and give Summer a send-off as well, because Fall is definitely here and it looks like it is sticking around this time. Of course, kicking in the month of wearing Pink (every Monday and Wednesday, this October) to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I chose a Hot Pink Striped Tank Dress, which would also work as a Tunic with Leggings and a Jacket, for now during Fall.

So my Hot Pink Striped Dress has Gray Stripes that are framed by very thin Metallic Silver Pinstripes. The Dress is in a soft ribbed cotton and the fact that it is a tank style makes it a versatile, casual, basic piece. Bringing out the Silver of the Dress I wore a Pave Collar Mesh Silver Necklace. I mixed+matched my Metallics though, because I am wearing Leather Gold Slides. That's all I needed for a real warm September day. Vivian is wearing a Lime Green+White Striped Dress with a Navy+Pink Polka Dot Flower patched on the skirt part, on the front. She wore matchy Lime Green+White Zebra Socks and Cute Tulle Embellished White Sneakers.
