I’m sure to an outside observer (er, my husband) it would seem I have several nearly identical versions of this blue and white striped shirtdress, but the rope tie waist felt different enough from others I own to warrant space in my wardrobe and I’ve honestly reached for it at least once a week since it first arrived. The rope detail is a subtle nautical touch and I just like that I can always count on a shirtdress to make me feel polished and put together right off the hanger.
