Layers & Lipstick Linkup - Effortless Waves & Stripes

Dress: Shein c/o (under $19!) / Hat: Target / Bag: Make Me Chic c/o / RX Glasses: Eye Buy Direct c/o / Bracelet: Similar here / Shoes: Seychelles (on SALE here and here) / Lips: NARS-Dragon Girl
Before I get into the meat and potatoes of the post let me say that Lauryn and I did not plan our outfits to be the same. Striped button down dresses, straw hats, nude shoes.....
What can I say great minds think alike ;)

I posted this dress on Instagram last month, and I immediately got tons of questions about it. Isn't it adorable on? PS it feels even more amazing on because it's 100% cotton, which is a MUST in Arizona. Hello, it even has pockets! Yep you need it!

Even though I haven't worn it a lot this season, stripes are by far my favorite pattern. My dear friends, I love stripes.  There is a section in my closet that is occupied with so many stripes that you would think either I was a prisoner or a mime in the past. Whether the pattern be thick, thin, horizontal, or vertical I love stripes all the same. I love that during the summer months that stripes are always a reoccurring trend. Stripes are the easiest pattern out there because they are versatile, classic, timeless, and sophisticated. 

Petite Review for Shein Striped Dress: I got the dress in an xs, and it fit pretty close to ideal. Since the back is stretchy it can fit an array of chest sizes. I got the dress taken in on the sides (about an inch) just so the dress could hug my ribcage more. 

I want to thank our two gorgeous cohosts this week Lauryn Cakes and Two Peas in a Blog. Just like Pucker Up Style, TPIAB is a sister blog. Fun fact about Lauryn is that she is a Utah blogger just like myself and Pucker Up Style.

    1. It's true you can't beat the price. Great place to buy trendy things because when it goes out of style you don't regret spending the money.

    1. I love the dress and romper front ties this season. Gives it that little bit of sexiness without being too much
