One nautical dress three ways

I thought it would be fun to share a few different looks featuring the same nautical striped dress from J.Crew Factory (striped pleated ponte dress with zip-back, $88). I have a previous version of the dress and it is one of my favorites. It is an easy dress to dress down or dress up depending on what you wear it with/add.

Look 1: Adding a blazer definitely dresses things up. With espadrille wedges this look is fun for a summer night (date night, engagement party, happy hour) or add a more formal heel for work/office.

Look 2: Picnic in the park, brunch with friends, this is a little dressier than look 3 but still casual.

Look 3: Ready for the beach/pool/lake! Wear your bathing suit under the dress or toss it into your bag and you are set. I have these flip flops (two pairs!) and love them.
