Striped Fit and Flare Dress

My obsession with fit-and-flare dresses resumed when I tried this dress on at Forever 21 and it fit like a glove! I love this silhouette because of its slimming proportions and also because of its classic shape reminiscent of the 1950’s.

The thick striped pattern reminded me of a Kate Spade dress, but obvi this was just a fraction of the price, which for the same girly effect is a *score!* in my book! Plus the coral and cream combo were not only perfect for Spring, but also perfect to wear to my friend’s baby shower!

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great Monday!
