Finding The One – Striped Dress Shopping Guide

October 27, 2015
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.

I have been on a mission.  To find a long sleeved striped dress that I can wear with boots for the Fall.  Y’all know me, when I have a mission, I research till perfection is found.  I just had a vision of striped dresses and boots for the Fall and all I kept on finding was short sleeved versions.  Well, low and behold I found the holy grail……and it was under $20 major score!Affordable Striped Dress

Long Sleeved Striped Dress

Always make sure your stripes line up on the sides around to the back of the dress.  Always the first giveaway of a cheap dress.  If the stripes line up then you are good to go!Over the knee bootsFall Striped DressOver the knee boots Sole SocietyDress here (just sold out! Similar here) love this one and this one is on major sale and has sizes.  I have this one, it is insanely soft and I love the gathered back.  Necklace under $7 here, seriously have been wearing on such repeat. Boots here.  They run true to size and are real leather.  Sunglasses Kate Spade on sale here.

These over the knee boots have quickly become my favorite go to.  I love pulling them up over skinny jeans or with dresses.  They run true to size and if you sign up for Sole Society email list you get 15% your first purchase.

To transition to cooler temps add some thick tights underneath, throw a vest over it (25% off with code COOLSTYLE) and layer with a scarf (I have this one, so soft and under $20).

    Gah. I wish we had more than a few days to wear items like this without dying of heat. This is such a great look!

    I’m always on the hunt for a new striped dress. I probably have 5 of them! You can never go wrong with pairing it with sole society boots. Great look!

    Really cute with the scarf! We can all thank maternity clothes for the jumpstart on the striped dress trend. Horizontal stripes are pretty much the only way they sell those things. And now, everyone thinks they’re cute. Yay!

    Love the dress!! Also, great tip on the stripes lining up–I hate it when I don’t pay attention to the shirt when I buy it and get home to realize the stripes don’t line up!!

    I had the cutest striped 3/4 sleeve dress from Urban Outfitters but unfortunately it shrunk in the dryer… I feel so dumb!!! But the stripes with the plaid looks fabulous… and love the zippers on those boots!

    I actually love the second option (a-line from forever 21) even MORE! But you look fabulous in yours of course :) Vest tip – H&M! I found a cream version with chestnut accents and I’ve worn it about 6 times in the past 2 weeks!

    I love that material for a dress. Certainly looks super comfy and the scarf is a cute addition. Who knew strips and plaid could look good together?
