Plunging Striped Dress

Mustard yellow is a color that I enjoy wearing year round. It is a great color to wear when the summer sun is shining or that color to brighten your day during those dreary winter months. Recently, I started loving the plunging necklace trend. I used to shy away from it because I wasn't so blessed with the top part of me, but nonetheless, the older I get the more I less care about what people think and love my body for how God made me. I stumbled across this Plunging Striped Dress from Forever 21 that is so perfect for springtime and for travel. It fits well and I love the flowy kimono sleeves, making me feel like I am walking in the streets of Spain.

When wearing such a bold + bright color I like to keep everything else pretty neutral. Neutrals, or in this case nude pumps. Plus, like I always say, with a nude shoe there is no better way to elongate your legs. I also added a pop of color with Noonday's Cobalt blue Clutch that comes with a removable strap if you want to use it as a crossbody. This piece is created by Artisans in Haiti who are building better lives for themselves and their families through dignified work. Be sure to check out Noonday's movement here

Next time you're feeling bored or need a little pep in your step just say hello to mustard yellow. This dress will definitely be a repeat into the summer. Not feeling this color? I'm sharing a few of my other favorite plunging striped dresses below.
