T-Shirt Dress

January 31st, 2013

Madewell Dress, Karen Walker Sunglasses, J.Crew Cardigan, Belt, and Pumps, Joie Bag c/o (similar here)

A good t-shirt dress is essential in L.A. It’s one of those pieces that can be easily dressed up or down and this one, with its classic stripes and pockets, has been in heavy rotation as of late. I think I had this exact dress as a kid, so clearly not much has changed…I simply would have accessorized it with purple jellies and a decent amount of farm animal hair clips instead of a loose bun and oversized sunglasses.

    I’m so jealous that you get to wear these cute outfits with bare legs and I’m sitting over here in Minnesota wearing more layers than I thought was possible! Brrr….

    What a fantastic dress! I have a similar one, but instead of t-shirt sleeves it has very wide tank straps. Pockets too! I love a dress with pockets. I got mine at Lands End. Surprisingly I have found some fun girly stuff at Lands End that is more quality made than anything else in my closet. Thanks for sharing your stripes, Happy Thursday! I hope LA is as nice as the Bay Area right now. :)
