loving: b.b. dakota striped dress

I've gone kookoo for cocoa puffs lately, except my cocoa puffs happen to be striped dresses. I've purchased three in the past few weeks. *gulp* 

Um, plus a striped sweater and a striped blazer. *double gulp* 

This is my favourite of the bunch. I'm enamoured with the colourful bands of red, teal, blue, and brown.


Covet dress

I found this fun Jack by B.B. Dakota frock at The Bamboo Ballroom. It's a fantastic little shop chock full of all kinds of lovely things. Local peeps - be sure to stop in during your next jaunt to Whyte Ave. Once you've perused the wares at Bamboo Ballroom, head over to Tutti Frutti, a fro-yo shop located oh-so-conveniently around the corner (try the taro and pistachio!).

Now, give it to me straight - I'm not alone with this stripe obsession, am I? Are stripes your thing or have you been filling your closet with another spring trend?

Happy Friday, friends!

    Nope, you are definitely not alone. I just bought the shirt version of this dress, I loooove the colour palette! I'd never seen the back of the dress, it's really pretty - you're gonna look hot, lady!

    Bamboo Ballroom and Tutti Frutti, two of my new fav things on Whyte Ave. I'm taking Mike tomorrow for some taro froyo, mmmmmmmmmm.

      It is fun, isn't it, Amy!? I'll add in a pair of nude suede wedges, a brown belt and a fun necklace and I'm off the races! (;

    For me it all depends on which direction the strips are going. Up and down are ok...side to side, mmmm....not so much! But that is a cute dress, nice colour combination!

      I know what you mean about the horizontal stripes, J - I've avoided them all of my life - but once I tried this pretty thing on, I was hooked.

      p.s. Maybe I'll wear it to a special occasion... in August. (;

    After a lifetime of following the whole "avoid horizontal stripes" rule I now find myself drawn to them. This dress is adorable and so much fun!

    Happy belated birthday, too! I hope you had a great day and I hope you have a fantastic year!

      I agree, Belle. I've always avoided horizontal stripes but am seeking them out now. Like a crazy woman.

      Thanks for the birthday message, lady! I have high hopes for this year. (:
