While visiting Austin last weekend, I made a stop at one of my favorite seafood spots… Perla’s! It was a gorgeous, balmy evening, and the precious sea-inspired striped motif made a picturesque setting for my new favorite little striped dress.

When it comes to stocking up for summer adventures, I’m a firm believer in a nautical, striped dress being at the top of your list! Navy and white stripes will always be a classic look, and there’s something about sporting them in an ultra-feminine silhouette that is flirty, refreshing and fun.
There’s so much to love about this Lovers + Friends style in-particular! Take a look at the darling tie detailing on the back… I love that it provides a slim, summery cutout without looking overly-showy. Can’t you picture this by the beach, Jack Rogers in hand?
For an evening on land, navy bow wedges by Kate Spade and my favorite straw clutch rounded out the ensemble beautifully. Now I’m itching to pack this up and head to somewhere coastal!
Love from Texas,

P.S. I’ve rounded up a few other darling striped dresses below!
P.P.S. Not only is today the first day of May… it’s also my move-in day! YIPPEE! I am SO excited. Now, granted… I don’t have anything to move in at this point other than a mattress, desk, keurig and a boat load of shoes…. but I can’t WAIT to start getting things settled. Let the decorating process begin!
This dress is gorgeous on you, and I love those bow wedges! Navy is such a cute color for summer.
