HELLO summer! I wore this outfit out to lunch last week so I didn’t melt in the heat.
This striped dress is something I’ve had sitting in my wardrobe for months but I’d never worn it.
The tags were still on and everything!
The weather was great that day!
As part of my plan to get in control of my finances this year (more about this in my 2015 goals post) I’m trying not to buy any clothes and shoes, which means digging through my existing wardrobes instead.
(Yes, you read that correctly, wardrobes plural. I have a lot of clothes, okay?)
I was fun to pick this out and remember why I bought it – it’s adorable! It’s from a store called SES but unfortunately they don’t have an online shopping section! (What a shame.)
I was worried about looking about like a prison inmate or someone in pajamas but after wearing it, I think it’s a winner.
A high bun is definitely my go-to hairstyle for a lazy day.
I wore a black Cotton On long singlet dress (find it here) and threw in my usual fluoro pink Aldo bag and fluoro pink sandals.
The small belt attached to this dress helps give me a waist despite the stripes but, as it’s brown, I will probably change this for a black belt in the future.
A high bun to keep my hair out of my face and off the back of my neck is also one of my go-to hairstyles.
Fluoro pink every day!
Would you wear vertical stripes? Let me know in the comments!

Great outfit! I’m trying to control my finances this year too, although its proving a tad hard with all the sales that were going on everywhere at the beginning of this month!
Love, Adela xx

I totally feel you – and I always like to buy new outfits/items of clothing to wear to special occasions like that, but I guess you’ll have to try and exercise some self control and hunt for the perfect outfit from your existing wardrobes!
