We all have that one pair of jeans or that super cozy sweater that we end up wearing at least twice a week. We call those our wardrobe essentials. When you are stumped on what to wear and can't pick an outfit for your life, those are the pieces that we always end up reaching for.
I'm sure we've all had that feeling of regret from buying a pretty pricey item only to wear it once and have it hanging in our closets until we decide to get rid of it. That's not to say you can never buy trendy pieces from affordable place like Forever 21 or H&M, but sometimes there are pieces worth spending more money on!
It's always good to invest in some new wardrobe basics a few times a year. They might be simple pieces of clothing but you know we're going to get your money's worth of them in just a few short months.
This striped dress is an updated version of your simple t-shirt dress. The long sleeves make it ideal for the colder months and the mock turtleneck adds some flair. With a soft textured pattern and a slightly looser fit, you will be reaching for this dress often.
I paired the dress with a simple pair of black booties, similar to these ones. We also love this look with a pair of over the knee black boots! Finish the look with either a leather or denim jacket for that 'cool girl', 'model off duty' look!
This dress is also extremely versatile - just another reason why we love it! You can wear it with booties or converse for a casual, errand-running, look when you want to be comfortable but casual. Or, dress it up with a pair of OTK boots or cute heels for an elevated look that would be perfect for dinner or a date.
