All this striped dress needed was a few staples to finish the look. The grey vest is from Target last winter. If I owned a brightly colored belt I would have worn that. . .but we all know how I feel about grey.
dress: Loft Outlet, similar
vest: Target, winter 2011
belt: J. Crew
Espadilles: Old Navy, summer 2012
So cute! I love taking Target items and accessorizing them!

Kate, you do such a wonderful job on your blog. I'm in my 40s and have always had short hair. Your blog has inspired me to grow it out and HAVE FUN with it. Keep up the great work. You're adorable.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Love the outfit! Love the hair! I could NEVER wear horizontal stripes with a belt!! You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! You look so cute!!
ReplyDeleteGreat look!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate! I have just discovered your blog and love your hair! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are evidently a natural blonde, but I would like to know how you lighten your shade--highglights? Please let me know, as I want to ask my stylist for your hair color. Thank you!!
please check my faq page
DeleteI like how you are so big and famous now that you can't even say "here's a link to all that information" or something like that.
DeleteSorry. Too busy. Kate's a celebrity now, guys.
Hey Anonymous...there's no need to be mean.
DeleteI apologize if it seemed short--oftentimes I'm responding to comments at the salon so I may only have a minute to write something quickly!
DeleteNo worries, Kate! I live in another country, otherwise I would go to your salon to get my color done.
DeleteI love this outfit! Now that you mention a colorful belt, I think you need a red one to match your earrings. :) You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just wake up in the morning early enough to try any of your cute hairstyles....
By the way, I found out about Birchbox from your blog and just signed up -- I'm so excited!
I love your hair in this, is that going to be a tutorial (hint hint)?

Hi Kate
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE your style.... and this outfit is just so lovely. You have such good taste both in clothes and jewelry. Makes me wish I lived in the US so I could buy some of all the lovely things you're showing. Your hair is always so gorgeous and I use your tutorials SO much. So THANK YOU for an awesome site and keep up the good work :o)
Lots of love from Lotte in Denmark
I love this look! Its a great way to transition a more summery dress into a fall look. Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteI love how this outfit looks! You hair is adorable too!
ReplyDeleteHow did you do your hair like that?!
I have this dress and get several compliments every time I wear it. Never thought I could "do" horizontal stripes. I usually wear a navy cardigan and red shoes but the vest looks great! Will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE that length of skirt on you, Kate :) just perfect. Very flattering. Like your up-do and the whole ensemble is very chic!
ReplyDeleteLove the vest ! Great oufit !

1) Have you lost weight? This outfit makes you look SO thin =)
ReplyDelete2) I totally love this. I am often not bold enough to belt my cardigans, but I obviously have to try it more often now.
Adorable outfit & love the hair!
