Casual stripe dress for summer

I found another dress with pockets! It’s like dressmakers have listened and given women pockets-finally! Not that I am putting anything in the pockets, but I am happy to know they are there. haha

This dress is a subtle nod to patriotism for the summer. The navy and white stripes with a single red stripe at the bottom make it a fun dress to wear for the summer, patriotic season. Plus, it’s under $50. Love that!

I wore this dress recently to meet my friend Dawn, from Fashion Should Be Fun, for lunch. We enjoyed strolling around Valley Fair and eating lunch at King’s Fish House. Yum! Since temperatures were in the high 90’s, it was a comfortable dress to wear.

It was hard to choose a handbag to wear to wear with this dress. In hindsight, I would have preferred to wear my straw tote bag. That being said, this hobo bag works too. Next time I wear it, the straw tote will be the bag!

These ballet flats worked perfectly for walking since they have excellent support. If you need extra support in your shoes, or you suffer from Planter Fasciitis like me, check out my review of this comfortable shoe collection.

This dress comes in a variety of color combos, so if navy/white/red isn’t your thing, check out the other colors!

Also, next time you are at Valley Fair, I highly recommend King’s Fish House. Dawn and I frequently eat lunch there because all the food is always delicious! Highly recommend.

Thanks for stopping by!

I highly recommend buying what you want online and checking the in-store pickup button. This way you can get the bulk of your shopping done online, away from the insane crowds at the store. By doing in-store pick-up, you can check out what you may have missed online. It’s a huge time-saver and relieves a ton of stress! Love that!
