Shirt: petit bateau striped tee // pants: j.crew ‘martie’ pant in cobalt // shoes: old, almost exact here // bag: Saint Laurent ‘betty’ bag (less expensive version here)

yall know i have been loving stripes lately and this top has been on constant repeat since I got it. The cotton has a really nice weight to it so it’s perfect for layering in these colder months, but would also be great for transitional spring days with shorts. Also, how fun are these cobalt pants? I have been craving color recently and these pants were just the ticket.  They come in 7 other colors if you’re not wanting to go as bold! Happy shopping!

I teamed up with Kitmade to show this dress 4 ways – work, play, house & travel! I love how easy this silk shirtdress is to wear. See my descriptions of the stylings below:

PLAY — When I’m out with my girlfriends, or on a date with my fiancé, I always want to add a bit of playfullness to my outfits. Layering this dress over a striped dress added an interesting touch, and the buttons up the front allowed an easy peak through!

HOME — I’m really casual when I’m at home, so I threw my hair into a pony, added a vest and some sneakers and went about my day! I love how easy this dress is to layer — this vest added the perfect amount of warmth to the outfit without weighing it down too much.

TRAVEL — The most important thing for me when traveling is that I need to be comfortable! This dress is loose fitting, and therefore super comfortable! I added a scarf {for warmth!} and cute sneakers and was good to go. I also always wear my hats so they don’t get crushed in my suitcase!

WORK — I wanted to dress the outfit up a bit, so I belted the waist, but I added a wedge bootie and my favorite Mansur Gavriel tote {the cobalt interior adds a fun punch} to keep the overall look young and fresh.
