Hi, my name is Cait and I’m addicted to stripes. I know you’ve seen a lot of stripes around here but I just can’t help myself – everything’s better with stripes! My wardrobe has been full of stripes since high school; I just love how they feel both pulled together and effortless. Stripes are always a good idea in my book.

My everyday wardrobe has gotten much more causal since moving to California and my latest favorite combination is pairing a dress with sneakers. It takes the fuss out of wearing a dress and makes the look practical, perfect for a full day at work or a busy weekend running errands. This navy BB Dakota striped dress has worked really well for SF’s chilly summer since its 3/4 sleeves add a bit more warmth – I’ve been layering over a denim jacket and throwing on my slip on Converse sneakers while pulling in a little pop of color with one of my favorite Kate Spade bags.

Anyone else hooked on stripes? Have you tried pairing sneakers with a dress yet?
