I think black and white stripes are the easiest pattern and color palette to style. I have a few black and white striped t shirts and looked everywhere for a great black and white shift dress. I didn't want it to be too tight, too short or too long. And I wanted it to have short or cap sleeves. Surprisingly it took awhile. Everywhere I look there are stripes, but finding the perfect one took some time. However good things comes to those who wait and if you wait for the perfect item then it's the easiest thing to style. I found my dress here. At $50 it might be a steal for you or it could be a chunk of change. Regardless it's worth the money. 

Dressed down
Being a stay at home mama to an 11 month old and almost 4 year old mean I'm all over the place. The first thing I got are little stretch shorts. Kind of like the ones cheerleaders wear so there's no embarrassing moments for any party involved.. Just because I have kids doesn't mean I can't wear short dresses. I don't wear them a lot, but I do love wearing them once in a while as long as I have the right undergarments.


I wore a green chiffon oversized blazer, sandals, a bangle and a brown purse.

Dressed Up

Not that this happens a lot but getting dressed up for a date night or girls night out in this little number is easy!  Paired with a bright statement necklace and a pair of bright neon shoes is a great way to add in some color and make it a fun Spring look!.
