Bateau Stripes

This summer’s been all about dresses: comfortable, casual frocks that are easy to throw on and don’t require much when it comes to accessorizing. And this nautically inspired dress, found in Singapore this past spring, is one of the pieces that started it all. I knew that it’d be a wear-forever kind of piece since, although I don’t find myself wanting to wear a lot of colour these days, classics like cherry red and navy blue have been the exception… especially when combined into warm weather appropriate, no-fuss pieces like this one.
