Colorful Midi Striped Dress Under $35

Friends, the countdown until my move is officially on and we’re just two days away. If you’re new here, I moved back in May for a new job and couldn’t find an apartment I loved at the time. Since then, I’ve had a new roommate (my mom) until the apartment I wanted became available. Well after almost 2 months, I’m finally moving to the apartment I wanted in the perfect neighborhood for me and I’m pumped. I’m hoping not to have too much down time on the blog with moving + a work conference next week and hoping the move sparks new ideas that I’ve been craving to create this season. All in all, this is an exciting week and I can’t wait to take you guys behind the scenes of decorating and furniture shopping. If you’re following along over on Instagram, pretty please answer the question in my stories about what I need from Trader Joe’s! I’m going for the first time this weekend and basically need to stock my entire kitchen.

Back to the good stuff – clothes. With moving, I mentioned that I let go of about 3/4 of my wardrobe. There were pieces I didn’t like, pieces that didn’t fit, things that were no longer my style or just overall ran down. I’ve now been slowly replacing pieces in my wardrobe with new staples that I hope better reflect my style. Being petite, styling midi dresses can be extremely hard. However, I’ve found a few gems here, here and here + this striped midi is no different. For sizing, I debated between my “normal” size and the petite size where I have to size up 1. I ended up with the petite in one numerical size up so that the midi wouldn’t look too long when I didn’t wear heels. I’ve already worn it now several times and love how simple and bright the piece is alone then paired with colorful additions.

Also if you guys are new around here, “Hi, my name is Azanique and I have a statement earring obsession.” If there was one thing I had a hard time getting rid of was earrings. For me, they change any outfit and help me add color to a normal dull dress or work look. These earrings are no exception from the #sugarfixbybaublebar collection! And with no surprise at all, two-strap sandals make their way into any outfit I’m putting together along with my everyday watch that you can get 10% off with code LOTSOFSASS10. 

Well friends, that’s all for me today! In this dress, size up if you are shopping petite or your normal size works in regular length. The regular is on sale for $32 and petitte is on sale for $30 – no code needed. I hope you guys have a great day! Happy almost weekend + thanks for reading -xo, Azanique <3
