Seaside Stripes

May 31st, 2012

J.Crew Dress and Belt, Kelly Wearstler Clutch, Miu Miu Heels, MAC “Snob” Lipstick

I own an inappropriately large amount of striped pieces, but somehow this dress feels slightly different. It’s simple – with a classic cut, in traditional navy and white, with a slight boat neck and a nipped in waist – but the silk fabric makes it dressy enough for evening when accessorized properly. To keep it from feeling too nautical, I added a heavy winged liner (tutorial here), some light pink lipstick and a ’60s-inspired hair style…oh and I threw on my wedding shoes, since they’re too fun to keep stowed away in my closet.

    Those shoes are beautiful. I know that I’ll want to be able to wear my wedding shoes on other days rather than just my wedding. You look gorgeous Emily.
