Stripes and Rust

Shabby Apple KAI dress, $100
Size 0P

This dress just changed my whole perspective on what a dress should do for my look. It was made to be a stand alone piece, and believe me when I say it lives up to that purpose. If I didn't need the jacket to prevent hypothermia, I would've gladly styled this dress entirely on its own. 

The classic silhouette offers a
flattering fit for all body types, even my shorter physique! Though it is longer on me than the lovely model on Shabby Apple's website, I think the length is equally nice on both of us! I fell in love with this dress because of the differing stripes on the top and bottom, along with the versatility of the cut. It can easily be dressed up or down based on the shoes paired with it, and I chose my chestnut TOMS wedges to make it casually cute while still being wearable for a fun shopping day!

Asymmetrical Heart Initial Necklace in rose gold, $28

I wanted to keep my jewelry as simple as possible, and decided my latest go-to was the perfect piece for this outfit (as well as every outfit of the last two weeks!). I am obsessed with the rose gold color, the daintiness of the heart, and the personalization of the initial. The ladies at Bip and Bop jewelry are incredible to work with, and I highly suggest them for all your personalized jewelry needs! I love that the clasp is placed so that the necklace lays asymmetrically OR centered, depending on how you feel like styling it!
