SHOP THE LOOK
Dress: Forever 21 (Similar only $13 / only $15) // Denim Shirt: Gap
Watch: Michael Kors // Bag: ZAC by Zac Posen c/o (Similar here under $50)  
Sandals: DvF (Similar here under $80) // Lipstick: NARS

I am wearing a dress!  I think this is the first post of me wearing a dress.  I am typically a jeans person - as you can probably tell from all of my different style posts of jeans.  If I am not wearing jeans, I usually wear a dress or skirt.  I am not really a dress pant type (or even shorts) person.  I picked-up this striped dress at Forever 21 for under $15 - and I love it!  I wanted to style it kind of fun, so I decided to try my denim shirt worn over the dress and knotted at the waist.  I am also wearing my comfy (really tall) wedge sandals - I have linked some almost identical ones for under $80. 

STYLE PERSPECTIVES: PLAID
Also, this is a double-style post today because it is Wednesday, which is Style Perspectives with The Blended Blog. Our host is Alison from Puppies & Pretties.  The prompt Alison chose this week is PLAID.  Below, I am showing a couple of ways I have worn plaid in a few of my Instagram posts.

If you are interested in knowing what I am wearing in my Instagram posts - most of my Instagram photos are linked to a tool called LIKEtoKNOW.it.  If you are not familiar yet with LIKEtoKNOW.it - it is an easy way to shop my Instagram posts directly.  All you have to do is "Like" my post (once you have signed up), and then it will send you an email with product links.
So, here are the steps to get started...

1.  Go to LIKEtoKNOW.it and sign-up.
(Note: You do not need to follow me on LIKEtoKNOW.it.
You can if you want, but it is not necessary for the following steps.)
2.  Follow me (@dailystylefinds) on Instagram
3.  “Like” my post.
4. And, an email with all the outfit details will be sent to your inbox.

  3. Gosh, your striped dress look is so spot-on. Coincidentally, I laid out a striped dress to wear to work today. Might try adding a chambray with it, to follow your good lead. Lovely plaid suggestions, too.
