Crazy Stripe Sweater Dress

Everyone knows that I am crazy about stripes, especially rainbow stripes, so it only makes sense that I would have to get this sweater dress in what Gap has dubbed as their "crazy stripe" pattern. Gap also has a sweater and even some sneakers in "crazy stripe" so that you can bedeck yourself from head to toe in these crazy, fun rainbow stripes! Also, since Gap's Black Friday sale starts early this week with an extra 50% off your purchase,  you can load up on a lot of color for a very small price!

In case you were wondering, I also purchased the crazy stripe sneakers because they were just too cute to pass up and they were also a great deal! Originally, I was thinking of going all out and wearing the sneakers with the dress but I thought I would go with my velvet booties instead for a slightly more glamorous look. The bag also helps add a little bit of glamor. If I decide to go out shopping on Black Friday, I could wear this dress styled more casually to deal with the crowds but, on second thought, it might be nice to just stay in and enjoy some leftover turkey instead!

There's No Wrong Time for Rainbow Stripes

I don't know how many posts I did last summer on rainbow stripes but it certainly was a lot! This fall, as the temperature cools down, rainbow stripes are definitely still as hot as ever. Take, for example, this halter top from Red Dress Boutique in a print they call "rainbow feels". Anything called "rainbow feels" has my name written all over it! Due to the fact that the top is sleeveless, it definitely would work for spring or summer but the black background of the print also makes it a bit more "fallish" in comparison to some of my other rainbow stripe items.

I decided that this top would work best with jeans and I realized that I haven't worn jeans in a while. During summer, I tend to wear more skirts and shorts because I find them to be cooler than jeans. I do, however, love these boyfriend style jeans because they are quite soft and so incredibly comfortable. I thought wearing them would be a good way to offset this fun and feminine top. Certainly, this outfit would be perfect to wear out on a fun Saturday night or, if you're boring like me and you seldom go out at night, you could just wear it for a casual lunch out during the day, which is exactly what I did last weekend. Without a doubt, as my title suggests, there's no wrong time of the year or the day for rainbow stripes!
