Classic Blue and White Striped Shift Dress

Vacation Ready Look from Madewell

As I was packing for my trip to Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, I knew I would end up wearing easy, breezy dresses. Whenever I go to the beach, I love to slip on a dress, throw my hair into a low bun and apply a little bit of tinted moisturizer. Vacations are supposed to be easy going, so I transfer this philosophy to my wardrobe. I snagged this understated, striped shift dress from Madewell. The softly textured cotton blend makes it a casual and comfortable dress. I also love the clean V-neckline and cute cap sleeves. I paired this vacation ready dress with my favorite summer navy espadrilles from Tuckernuck, cotton tassel earrings from Anthropologie and this turnlock leather clutch from J. McLaughlin.
