This is a photo of my sister, Kristian, and I from last night. She bought her dress from Charlotte Russe and the shoes are from Payless. {We both own these shoes, and you may remember them from this post.}

Stripes are going to quickly find their way into my closet - I can see it. They're a versatile pattern and something that can be paired with either a solid color, or another pattern. Over the past months, I have seem tons of women (and men) mixing patterns with stripes as one, or just wearing stripes alone. You can make stripes work as edgy and bold, or chic with simplicity; it all depends on how you wear it.

For today, I decided to wear a striped maxi dress as chic, simple, and casual. I love this dress because it provides a fun pop of color, while giving me comfort, all the while staying ultimately chic! It is one of the dresses that I can never get tired of. For about $12-13, I acquired this maxi dress from Dots. It is a must-have staple in my closet that I would highly recommend buying. It's not available online, but I got it in a store a couple of months ago during the end of winter/beginning of spring time. Oh, and just in case you become addicted to stripes after the pieces I post below, I'd just like to say...you're welcome. {haha.}
