Jail Break

stripes.jpg

As demonstrated before, I’m a huge fan of stripes; especially when it comes to dresses.  They’re perfect for just about any occasion and they lend a crisp and casual vibe when paired with a cropped jacket or colorful espadrilles.   No matter what your budget, these are some of my favorites for spring.

1. Bungalow Dress, Anthropologie: $278
2. Stripe Drape Dress, Miu Miu: $1,270
3. Striped Knit Dress, Bi La Li: $168
4. Sunburst Ray Dress, French Connection: $99
5. Striped A-Line Dress, Charlotte Russe: $29
6. Stripey Tube Dress, McQ Alexander McQueen: $168
7. Beachy Stripe Dress, French Connection: $138
8. Striped Twisted Dress, AE: $19

Love the vertical, not horizontal stripes for a dress. Would love to try on/get #4, it’s so summery & fun!

3 Megan { 04.29.09 at 7:14 am }

#6….comfy and sexy, love! and it’s not even the most expensive one! hurray!

Oh that Bungalow Dress is too much! If only I had the goods to hold up a strapless …

6 Rachel { 04.29.09 at 7:16 am }

I’ve had my eye on # 1 for some time now… hoping it will go on a SERIOUS sale!

Love stripes!

7 Carolyn { 04.29.09 at 7:19 am }

I feel like #4 is something Carrie Bradshaw would wear with a crazy belt and sky high heels, ne’st ce pas? Love it!

P.S. Can’t wait for your shark tooth necklaces! I LOVE sharks!

8 Chessa! { 04.29.09 at 7:26 am }

I LOVE these! I adore stripes.

9 Nicole Marie { 04.29.09 at 7:28 am }

i’ve been drooling over that anthropology dress ever since i saw it in the catalog! love!

10 Christina { 04.29.09 at 7:31 am }

I too, am obsessed with stripes.

11 Budget Babe { 04.29.09 at 7:32 am }

I love each of these, and I’m not just saying that! I always fall back in love with stripes when the weather warms up…that classic, nautical vibe is killer. And there’s the whole “French gamine” thing. Any way you look at it, stripes rock.

12 Nichole @ ScrappyTime { 04.29.09 at 7:46 am }

I love that Bungalow Dress from Anthropologie! Great picks! :)

13 Kristin @ Contented Me { 04.29.09 at 7:47 am }

Why is it that every time I pick a favorite it happens to be the most expensive?? Of course, I’m swooning over that Miu Miu dress… (I wish it came in maternity sizes!)

14 abigail { 04.29.09 at 7:51 am }

why do I always like the most expensive one?

15 Slices of Beauty { 04.29.09 at 7:51 am }

Cute stripes, give me the French Connection one.

21 tiff { 04.29.09 at 8:19 am }

I’ve had my eye on that anthropologie dress for a while now. Stripes are fun:)

22 White Rabbit { 04.29.09 at 8:31 am }

Can I have No5 please?

23 Down and Out Chic { 04.29.09 at 8:31 am }

i generally don’t do strapless dresses (i think they look funny on me) but i’ve been admiring #1 for some time now. i love it, so parisian chic.

24 Sarah { 04.29.09 at 8:33 am }

In agreement with Down and Out Chic, I also don’t do strapless AND I’ve also been eying this Anthro dress. I think I might have to make an exception for it. Plus it looks like it has enough support to properly help hold ‘the girls’ up.

25 Steph { 04.29.09 at 8:45 am }

I love stripes. I have so many striped shirts in my closet. My faves are #1,#3, and #4.

26 Becs { 04.29.09 at 8:53 am }

For some reason, vertical stripes make me slightly dizzy when looking at them. I know, so odd. But out of these I’m loving #4 (despite the vertical stripes) and #6. Great picks!

xo, Becs

27 Neira { 04.29.09 at 9:19 am }

not a big fan of stripes but you have some nice choices here..loving the McQ one! reasonably priced as well

28 Talk Pretty To Me { 04.29.09 at 9:20 am }

Stripes tend to make me look like a gigantic accordian :( these dresses are lovely though! Number 1 is pretty gorgeous gotta love Anthro

29 Wanderlusting { 04.29.09 at 9:24 am }

GASP! #1, 4 and 6 are to die for. oooh I just love Anthropologie! I’m wearing stripes today too (just on my upper half though :)

30 Couture Carrie { 04.29.09 at 9:27 am }

Fabulous post title, E! Is it wrong that I want ALL of these?

xoxox,

31 Heidi { 04.29.09 at 10:19 am }

#7 is a standout for me because there’s nothing better than stripes, a boat neck, and 3/4 sleeves. Soooo flattering! So RL! Wonder what he’s doing in striped dresses this season??? A girl can look. :)

32 Chelsea { 04.29.09 at 10:23 am }

Love the McQ dress!

<3 Chelsea’sGirl

33 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 04.29.09 at 10:29 am }

Mmmmmm…I love stripes, particularly of the black and white variety.

34 frouu { 04.29.09 at 10:31 am }

gotta love stripes. ADORE the fourth dress, it oozes character from its every.. stripe?

- frouu

35 mel { 04.29.09 at 10:44 am }

I love #1 but I don’t think I could wear it with my skin tone. I do love stripes. I am actually looking for a stripe 3/4 sleeve sweater. Any ideas?

36 Kristin { 04.29.09 at 10:48 am }

I’ve been eyeing #1 for a while now. I heart Anthropologie way too much!

37 Andrea { 04.29.09 at 10:49 am }

So typical of me to fall for the 2 most expensive items in the post.

38 LenkaLovee { 04.29.09 at 10:52 am }

cute dresses! of course my favorite has to be the most expensive one {#2}. :( but i also like #4. :)

39 isabelle { 04.29.09 at 10:56 am }

love love love stripes!

40 carlotta { 04.29.09 at 10:59 am }

today for my bday present I’ve shopped at HM and Zara…lots of stripes , 2 dresses, skirt and shirts!! love stripes for summer are perfect for a nautical look, everyday give the “french” factor to an outfit!!the #3#5#6 love them!

41 The Socialite { 04.29.09 at 11:00 am }

I’m loving #2 but not the price tag! Although #4′s price tag isn’t that bad?! :)

42 southern hostess { 04.29.09 at 11:04 am }

Love these and thanks for all the different price points!

43 jamie clare { 04.29.09 at 11:04 am }

that anthropologie dress is TO DIE FOR – - – and, dare i say it, much preferable to the thousand dollar miu miu piece next to it. super lovely!

44 thischicksgotstyle { 04.29.09 at 11:11 am }

The first dress is lovely!
x!

45 Karolina { 04.29.09 at 11:59 am }

50 paula { 04.29.09 at 1:34 pm }

I have a stripe addiction. I may need to post my closet one day. I have been eying that first dress, but alas it must keep it’s distance.

51 Catherine { 04.29.09 at 1:50 pm }

Great piece…I love stripes…. so iconic. I like them all though I really like the deal from Charlotte Russe….would be cute with a cool belt and wedges.

61 Amanda Lalique { 04.29.09 at 10:02 pm }

wow! I’m quite in love with number 6! It’s gorgeous, and looks like it could be flattering for most body types because of it’s comfy-ness.

64 Melanie { 04.30.09 at 6:30 am }
65 andhari { 04.30.09 at 7:02 am }
