Plaid Slip Dress & Striped Tee: Best Marketing Strategy Ever

On my way to work this morning I saw what has to be the best marketing strategy ever. Seriously, ever. I was behind this tank truck with large hoses attached and it was painted the most beautiful shade of blue. I realized from the hoses that it was a septic system cleaning truck. It took a minute for the words painted on the back to sink in. It said “Stool Bus” and in smaller lettering, “Hauling Yesterday’s Meals Today”. I completely busted out laughing. While driving down the road. Alone in my jeep. I prayed for a red light so that I could get a picture. Fate was on my side and I did get a sweet shot of it. If you follow me on Instagram, watch for it today. You really have to see it to believe it. Trust me, it’s fabulous.

So here is my much loved plaid slip dress styled accordingly for the beautiful spring weather. I last wore it here, styled with over the knee boots and a turtleneck and three feet of snow for a background. I gotta say I much prefer it without the three feet of snow. I could have gone the subtle route and layered it over a white tee, but that just wouldn’t be me now would it? It wasn’t quite warm enough for the short sleeve striped tee, so 3/4 sleeves it was. As I’ve said before, if you’re going to mix prints, keep them in the same color families so that they play well together (see here and here for more examples).

I had a gc to Mint Julep and almost got a plaid dress with it, but decided against it since it was more for the winter. I love the summer version you have here and the lace on the bottom adds a fun element to it, too. I just liked your pic on IG, hilarious. You always seem to have some sort of funny story to share!
