Stripes Are The New Black: Striped T-Shirt Dress, Denim Vest And Red Ankle Boots

     Okay, perhaps that’s an overstatement. But I have worn stripes two days in a row, so they gotta be cool, right? It always makes me giggle when the fashion gods proclaim that “Brown is the new black” or “Gray is the new black”. Umm…black is black, brown is brown, and gray is gray. Pretty basic stuff. This dress is also pretty basic. Without a few carefully chosen add-ons it would be pretty uninteresting. But I threw on the vest, the brooch, and the red ankle boots and boom! I had an outfit. When you’re putting together something to wear, always look at it with a critical eye and think about what you can add that will make it stand out. Uninteresting or not, this dress is also ridiculous comfortable. It’s like wearing a long soft t-shirt. Comfort is also important, at least for me it is. If I’m feeling at all confined or have to constantly make adjustments to something I’m wearing I just don’t feel good in it. And if you don’t feel your best, you don’t look your best.

Dress: Old Navy (No longer available);  Vest: So old I don’t even know where it came from;  Boots: Aldo via Amazon (No longer available)

I am so jealous that you are able to wear bare legs!

The red looks great on you, especially those little booties.

Happy, youthful and flattering … doesn’t get better. Love your red booties, too. You manage always to look polished in the most casual of outfits. I always have something to think about after one of your posts.

Man, I am a day late and a dollar short. I just realized this is Thursday and I need to get to my regular gals I usually link up with, doh! (i read yours and it reminded me) So I will do that like immediately after this comment is published, k? I am feeling a bunch better finally! I completely agree with you Debbie, about comfort. The older I get the more I require comfort. That is why I loved getting those Steve Madden nude heels. The pricier heels are a bunch more comfortable than the cheaper heels. Low heels… Read more »

Super cute outfit! I love the dress and those boots are awesome! I’d agree on your stripes are the new black statement, lol! I’m a huge sucker for stripes. I love them and can rarely pass them up when out shopping.

This works really well. I don’t think it would be boring on its own but the added touches really add zip. One request? I’d love closeups of your accessories in the future. I’m dying to see that spiky necklace and that fun brooch up close, and, obviously, the boots ask for a closer look too because they’re so cool. Those booties would spice up any number of outfits.
