show your stripes

At long last a real outfit post for you lovely readers! I'm afraid this outfit was not too elaborate because it has been a pretty hot week (well...compared to the average temperature the rest of February) so I cut back on my usual layering. The dress was purchased just before I went to the UK - I felt like I needed some more stripes in my life! I go through stripey phases from time to time.
The pen necklace is from KateSpade was a Christmas gift from my little sister.  At the time I didn't get the MadMen connection but have since realized that Joan often sports a very similar necklace.  I love the show so it's ok by me!

I want candy

Is it bad to buy yourself gifts for your own birthday? I'm not sure why I'm even offering that up as a possibility because its too late! I've turned buying myself a celebratory item (or two) into an annual thing, this year was no exception... but how could I say no to this striped amazingness I turned up while digging through the pages of Asos.com last month?  It looks like candy!
 The ribbon tied at the waist did not actually come with the dress - I added it after the fact to spice it up a bit. 
 
I also would have worn more exciting footwear for you guys but I went to the Rosebowl Flea Market on this particular day which loosely translates to "you'd be mad to wear any sort of heel and this I've learned this the hard way"
 like I said, no birthday-buyer's remorse here!
