Perfect Gingham Dress with a Straw Clutch

I have been chomping at the bit for this gingham dress to be released!  It just screams summer! I wore it to the first lunch at the RewardStyle Conference.  I had to keep it on the down low until it was finally released this week!

Gingham Dress with Belt  //  Straw Clutch  //  Earrings  //  Sandals //  Sunglasses  //  Lipstick-pink punch

Let’s get to talking about how freaking adorable this gingham dress is.  Ya’ll know I’m into classic clothing pieces.  This dress has that timeless fit and flare shape, halter neckline and comes with a belt.  The front of the belt is cognac.  The sides and back are white and navy stripe.  It runs true to size and I am wearing a 4.  This gingham beauty is from one of my favorite dress brands, Eliza J.  Their dresses really fit women’s bodies and their colors and prints are always on point and photograph beautifully.

I accessorized this dress with these adorable drop earrings.  I love the graduated colors from blush to orange to navy.  They added the perfect pop of interest and color against the gingham print.  I also had these earrings in mind to wear with a few other outfits in the future.  They would pair well with anything navy, white, light pink, or nude/neutral.

I added this adorable straw clutch that is only $35!  I love that it isn’t massive but really packs a punch with the straw detailing.  This clutch will definitely get some use this summer.  I will be pairing it with other sun dresses or skirts.  It would even be adorable with shorts and a wedge.

The back of this gingham dress is fun! It has a squared open back with a snap at the top.

I wanted to keep this look classic and simple, so I wore these cognac sandals.  After spending 6 hours in heels the night before, these mid stacked heels sandals with butter soft straps are exactly what I needed.  Well, I really needed a foot massage and Birkenstock’s but that wasn’t happening!   These cognac sandals would make the perfect work sandal as well.  They run half a size small.  I normally wear an 8.5 and sized up to a 9.
