Do you ever buy something completely off-season knowing you’ll be wearing it later?  I actually grabbed this dress around Christmas knowing how great it would be come summer.  Little cotton dresses are already a summer must-have and stripes are just icing on the cake.

*I realized after the fact that we didn’t get any usable full-length photos, but I paired this with a simple pair of white sandals, similar to these from Gap, Urban Outfitters, Payless, and Steve Madden.
