Layered a menswear-inspired cardi over a stripes t-shirt dress paired with cropped khakis for a laid-back, but put together look! Love these kicks!

This frock has been a wonderful addition to my spring and summer wardrobe. It's chic, flattering, has pockets, and is machine-washable, all great features for a party dress! I went with leopard print flats and gold jewelry to polish off this OOTD. And since it looks like autumnal weather is finally upon us here in Pittsburgh, I'm saying farewell white dress, I'll see you next spring!

Here's the original pic: The Zoe Report I pretty much nailed, right?! Beyond the street style inspo, the killer part of this outfit is the white dress. It works for fall with the right shoes and topper. Knee-high boots are a fall-fashion staple, and the somber tone of this olive blazer brings this breezy number(last seen here ) into the season.  Also my hair is pretty awesome! 💇

Well, some trends ironically never go out of style. I've certainly been a fan of this aesthetic for several years, check past posts here . In this 2017 iteration I've used this little white dress as clean palette to showcase safari-esque add-ons for a chic outfit to take on the urban jungle.

Thanks to this "tuxedo" dress with it's lapels, buttons, and pockets this dress-over-pants switches things up from your standard LBD. The inspiration for this look came from a Refinery29 article on fashionable kids. Meet Rin and her mom Rica-- While Rin's look is very cute, and right up my striped alley, it was her mom's outfit that inspired me. Going for an easy, loose silhouette with some architectural detail was how I approached turning this inspo photo into real life outfitting. Oh, but hey, just noticed that I AM sporting stripes on my black and white flats. So, this is actually a nice little combo inspo! Check out more of Rin's style here !
