We took Milan to buy some pumpkins recently and I couldn’t wait to wear this striped dress!  I don’t think I’ve met a striped dress I didn’t like.  Yes I have a serious stripes addiction.  Anyone else have this problem?  This dress is perfect for fall.  I know it will be on heavy rotation this season.Â
A cute dress paired with some boots and a scarf is my go-to look.  It’s just the right amount of layers and great for the mild California weather.  I love that I can take off the scarf when it gets too warm (which it did the day I took these photos).  Not going to lie, after looking at all the cute pumpkins and tons of excitement, I was sweating and had to take off my scarf (lol).
This dress is just adorable. Â Simple and versatile. Â I love the elbow sleeves so much! Â It makes your arms look really thin which is always a huge bonus. Â The stripes are the perfect size and the color is navy and white not black and white like it says online. Â I was really happy about this as I prefer navy stripes over black stripes. Â It also comes in THIS COLOR. Â The mock neck style adds a a bit of retro 60’s vibe – so cute.
Sizing is a bit tricky.  Usually French Connection sizes run extra small however this dress runs true to size.  I have some old French Connection dresses that are size 0 and they’re very form fitting.  I sized up to a 2 based on the online recommendation however it ended up being pretty loose around my waist and hips.  It still looks great but I’m thinking a size 0 would have fit better.  At least this gives me some additional breathing room and I don’t have to suck in (lol).
The material is a heavier cotton and really nice quality.  I was afraid the length was going to be too short but it’s just right.  It hits me right above the knees and great for petite gals.  On a side note – be extra careful when washing this as it may shrink.  Make sure to wash on cold and dry flat.
I love wearing dresses.  I feel much more comfortable and confident in dresses than jeans or pants.  Strange right?  I don’t know what it is but I’ve always been this way.  There are so many cute dresses I have my eye on. Nordstrom has the best selection of dresses!  Here are my top picks:

I would highly recommend this dress. Â It’s one of those items in your closet that you can wear all year round so you know you’re getting your moneys worth out of it. Â Wear it to work, dress it up or down – extremely versatile piece. Â Plus, you can NEVER go wrong with stripes!
