Lace and Stripes: A Dress Made for Dancing

Did you know that horizontal stripes are banned for those who want to look slimmer?  I threw caution to the wind and just went for it.  This is the perfect travel dress- no iron needed and I can easily dance in it.  I can  see myself wearing it at the beach over my swim suit with a big straw hat.


  Dress: Target, Necklace: Banana Republic, Lace Tank Top: Old Navy, Corduroy Jacket: H&M

And now, I'm going to to grace you all with a ballet class in my new outfit.
(Whether you like it or not!)




I think we all need a dress we can take ballet class in. 
Ps... I am using my wonderful SIL's camera.  Take heart, I will find mine again.

I agree! Those dresses that you could dance in would definitely be perfect for travel - I love keeping those sorts of dresses in my closet, because they're just so easy and comfy and cute! :) I love the stripes, you look adorable!

What a wonderful dress-I wear horizontal stripes all the time, and I think fearlessness makes everyone look thinner!

Hope you had a divine weekend!

xo, Lena

Caitlin said...

I love ballet class dresses! I hate having to find sweats or pants that will go on over tights. I have a few ballet class worthy dresses myself and their my favorite! The only thing is I am forgetful of the direction of my hips and its hard to notice in something flowy in that area. Sad.

drollgirl said...

you look fab! that dress is so cute!

and would it KILL designers to make the stripes run LENGTH-WISE so that more of us could wear stripes with utter abandon?! yeesh!

Lady Grey said...

Oh it looks GORGEOUS on you!! I love the lace tank underneath too.

I love the cord jacket pairing - that's unexpected and fun! Doesn't BR have the most amaaazing jewelry?! I want it all!

Thanks for the ballet lesson! I'm all about finding cute, comfy clothes!

Punctuation Mark said...

i cannot agree more... i changed into one of this as soon as i got off my chef uniform... it felt really good!

Sandy a la Mode said...

ohh i LOOOVE stripes!! i love how you did an outfit post with ballet poses!! :)

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

And you look gorgeous, as always. If anyone doesn't need to worry about looking slimmer, it's you. I agree about the dress too -- it's my general rule when I buy a dress that I should be able to dance in it.

karen said...

I once wore horizontal stripes, but that was long ago. Looking back, I didn't like the way it looked on me. Since it seems to be the trend these days, I'm trying to like it again though it may be that I should try a cute dress like the one you're wearing.
