Happy Hump Day! So the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially started yesterday for Icon level members. In case you can’t access the sale yet, just add your favorites to your wishlist. Ok, so today we will discuss how to wear navy and white stripes this summer. I never said I was a rocket scientist so don’t laugh when I keep the fashion topics on the light side. I spoke about late summer trends last week, and this is definitely one of them. It is the perfect pattern for summer, plus it is extremely flattering. I’ll show you my favorite ways to wear and style this pattern, including this fantastic dress.
