I was contacted by 9th & Elm to do a product review and was excited to order this striped chiffon dress. I was hoping it would be long enough on me so that I could wear it to work, and on the weekends, but unfortunately (like most dresses now) it was too short on me for work. So instead, I styled it for a recent date night!
9th & Elm provides handmade and independent designs, perfect for finding a unique gift for friends or family, or finding something beautiful for yourself. It is like many other sale sights, but offers tons and tons of products in categories such as jewelry, accessories, handbags, vintage, clothing, phone cases and many more!
I love the mix of brown and black stripes and this dress is very comfy. You can wear it with a loose fit, but I wanted to belt it and added a tall pair of nude heels to complete my date-night look. While I’m disappointed it is too short for work, I think it will be a great dress for summer with some gladiator sandals and a light cardigan, and even better with opaque tights for fall and winter! Also, I think it will look much better WITH A TAN haha. Come on sun, I just want to hang out by the pool!
Anyway, if you want to join 9th & Elm and shop some of their deals, you can sing up here.

May 14, 2014 at 4:11 AMI love that dress and am currently looking for a color-blocked or striped Black+Tan Dress myself. You look so Hot and Chic in yours. Love the Belt too and your great styling. Perfect for a date night though I could see it working with some Neutral Sandals and Opaque Tights with Black Pumps or Black Booties for cold weather, also. =)
It is totally a Statement Dress (all about those on today’s Special Post). Speaking of, read below and see your beautiful self featured.
