Another striped dress in the closet

I know I have a slight obsession with stripes. I know I didn't need another striped dress, but I'd like to argue that this one is different and therefore justifiable. In my mind it is, anyway.

I know we all have our small obsessions, that one thing we keep buying, over and over again, despite logic and lack of closet space. For me its striped things, and leopard things, and also jewelry and sunglasses. And handbags. I'll stop at that, though I think we all know the list continues.

What is your "one" obsession?

    I am so head over heels on this stripe dress and yellow cardigan combination. Your flower earrings are to die for. Thumbs up from me.

    For me, it's definitely shoes and scarves. I justify my shoe obsession by the fact that they're necessary (feet need protection), and I justify my scarf obsession with the fact that Chicago weather is crazy, therefore you never know when you'll need a scarf!

    That's such a cute dress - I really love the fit! I've never been able to find a striped dress that fits me quite right. I think my two major obsessions are leopard and studs.

    Another beautiful look Lydia. I think you are definitely in my top three inspirational bloggers ever. I have a soft spot for stripes too. In fact, I'm gearing up for my floral week next week only to realize . . . I don't have as many floral patterned things as I thought! And I have a hundred handbags (exaggeration) and usually use about three of them. They may need a new home . . .

    The cut on this dress is SO fabulous on you! And, I'm right in there with you...I don't think I have a 1 thing. Haha. It's any and all things fashion that I just have fun collecting. Guilty pleasure(s). :)

    It's definitely a toss up between leopard and colored denim for me. And shoes. And pencil skirts.

    This is a great dress and like the scarf paired with it.

    my guilty pleasure is leopard, I can't stop buying leopard things and wearing them together, that and black and white stripes, and polka dots... and... well crap I too gravitate toward a whole heck of a lot of prints. that dress is perfection, it looks infinitely stylable! it's nice to meet you, I'm a new follower!

    I also have a thing for stripes - it's not as acute as it once was, but I still have a hard time resisting pretty striped things. I already have one striped dress on my wishlist for summer and seeing you in this lovely one - which is different from the one I'm already planning to buy, honest - makes me want it, too! Although when it comes to buying obsessions, my biggest problem is with sweaters. Particularly black sweaters. It makes no different how many I have, I can always convince myself that I need more!

    That dress is crazy flattering on you! It's not a surprise you had to take it home. Heck, now I want to go look for it too!

    Personally, I have a hard time resisting a pretty dress. (But it seems that I've also been buying a lot of shorts lately.)

    Stripes are lovely, and they're lovely on you, so of course you have to have tons of them in your wardrobe! Plus, they can be nautical. ;)

    This dress is just too pretty. It may just be the perfect stripe width. I love it with your bright yellow cardigan and bag.

    Hmmm... I'd say I tend to lust after skater style dresses. Or polka dots. You can never have too many polka dots.
