Banana Republic White Fit and Flare Dress-4

Happy Monday! This weekend went by way too fast for me! Today’s post is about the little white dress. I love the simplicity of this dress and it fits perfectly! I’ve mentioned numerous times, Banana Republic dresses are cut perfectly for my frame. I love dresses that I don’t have to alter and it’s always a bonus when they fit right off the rack.

When I’m shopping, I try my hardest to find classic pieces that will withstand the test of time (and trends). I also look for items that can be worn to work and on the weekends. Sometimes it’s hard to stick to this rule especially when there are so many sales and buying based on price has always been my weakness (still is). I plan on wearing this dress with sandals/wedges for the Summer and flats on the weekends.

Banana Republic White Fit and Flare Dress-9

Measurements: shoulder to shoulder 12″, armpit to armpit 13″, waist 12″, total length 32.5″

I’m loving the boatneck and cap sleeves plus the length is perfect for someone my height. This dress is fully lined and not see through but you’ll still want to wear nude undergarments. It also comes in navy (so tempting) but I have way too many navy dresses. The only downside is that it has an exposed zipper in the back. When will this trend end?

I still love this Ferragamo Miss Vara mini bag. You can read my previous review here. I just wish they made the chain strap adjustable. I have to tie a knot to shorten the length which doesn’t always stay in place. Nonetheless, it’s adorable and I would recommend it. You can buy it here or here.

Bold Stripe Shirtdress – size 0P (buy here)

Here are the fitting room pics from this past weekend. The shirt dress runs large. They didn’t have a 00P so I tried on the 0P. There is a lot of excess fabric that I hid in the back for the sake of the photo. It’s cute and has potential. Super comfy too! I also ordered this adorable lemon print fit and flare dress. It reminds me of Kate Spade and hope it fits.

If you are an Anthropologie fan – get free shipping (no minimum, today only) with code JUSTBECAUSE
It’s worth mentioning because they rarely have free shipping or sales. It’s a good time to pick up jewelry or cute little trinkets/household items. My picks are:
– scalloped cake stand
– monogram mug (wish they still had gold)
– glittering serveware (I need this)
– polka dotted potholders
– polka dotted flatware
– eiffel tower ring dish
– giraffe trinket dish
– gilded borders jewelry box (love)
– luminous dots pillow
Thanks for reading and have a great week! 🙂
