Motel Rocks

Photobucket
Two posts in one week with Stripes'n'Foxy's. I never tire of stripes, any colour, any style, tee shirts, dresses - a true classic in my eyes. So when asked to choose a piece from Motel Rocks, I was immediately drawn to this fun and flirty striped dress. It is cut a little low at the front, so I added a gold bow brooch to spare my dignity. In the winter I will wear it with a navy bodysuit underneath.

Motel Rocks are offering my readers a 20% discount, just enter PINKBOW at the checkout.

I don't usually shop at motel, but this dress is gorgeous!

Beautiful photographs - I'm so fond of combining navy and tan at the moment, and this is one of the loveliest examples I have seen so far! I've only become familiar with Motel recently, too. The dress is adorable, I like how the stripes offset each other, and I especially love the waistband with its tiny button details which echo your little brooch. Navy tights were a perfect choice for sure!

Beautiful dress! And I agree, stripes are such a timeless classic. I can't get enough of them either. The brooch was a great idea by the way. If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought it came with the dress. Hope you have a lovely weekend :)

P.S. I've finally joined Twitter (@haute_world). Hope to see you there!

Vanessa said...

Hello miss Paula! I must say your blog is quickly becoming one of my very favorites. I came back from vacation with over 1200+ posts in my queue and you know.. you have to just not read some of them, but not yours! No sir, I love reading your posts and seeing the wonderful photos (that I can't believe your dad takes! great job to him!).

Oh, I also just clicked on your q&a link on the right and it appears to not be working? Maybe just for me.
