A dress with sleeves and pockets you can wear just about anywhere.
I’m a KU alum, so I’m not one to shy away from a bright red and blue combo. Enter this Gap dress, which has been a wear-everywhere dress favorite for quite some time. It works in so many arenas, from the office, to date nights, to spring + summer weddings. I love the fit and flare cut (super flattering), and the longer sleeve balanced the above-the-knee hemline. Bonus: pockets. I love a dress with pockets. The bright color + bold print made styling the rest of the look easy: classic sunglasses, red pumps, and a quick dose of shine from a metal belt.
A wear-everywhere dress like this is a closet standard. You can easily justify the value when the dress takes you from your 9-5 gig to drinks with pals, or from a bridal shower to dinner with your boyfriend.
This is such a lovely dress, Ashley, and it looks fantastic on you; I love the way you’ve styled it! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a great day!
This is such a cute fit and flare dress, Ashley! My college colors were red and blue too so I’m also always attracted to this combination! Such a great dress for work and I love how you added the belt!
Well, that is the cutest little striped dress I ever did see and perfect for the upcoming Fourth of July! You look so polished, so fun and so so beautiful!
How cute is this dress on you! I love that it’s girly enough to be a night out dress, but could work for more casual outings like meetings and such simply paired with a different shoe. You rock at finding such versatile pieces!
Thanks so much, Kiki- this dress definitely does most of the heavy-lifting in the style department, that’s for sure. 🙂
That Gap Dress is certainly gorgeous. I am a fan of the colors, stripes, style and pockets. You styled it perfectly indeed. Great gold belt. It defines your little waist and adds curves, even more. =)
Haha, need to find you a purple + white (or gray) version! 🙂
Too cute Ashley! Love the bold stripes & those red pumps! This dress is perfect for so many occasions! Hope you have a great week babe!

Oh hey, what a perfect dress for Flag Day. 🙂 Did you plan that? Love this silhouette on you and it’s fun contrast to some of the 90s and and menswear inspired looks you’ve worn lately.

These are always such good pieces because as you said you can take them everywhere, but they also never really go out of style! You look great! XO

Haha, no- I didn’t! But too funny. And yes ma’am- you know I gotta shake it up now and again. 🙂
Fit and flare dresses are perfect and I love yours! Your heels are cute.
Cut is everything when it comes to dresses for me, and a fit and flare style is one of my favourites.
This is one I would reach for for day to day wear, especially because of the cut.
