File this dress under best jackpot find recently– at only $13, this Zara striped number is at the top of my list of things I want to wear right now.  I’m loving anything high neck, mock neck, turtleneck-y right now– a refreshing and sophisticated change from years of low cut everything– and my newly sprouted baby bump (19 weeks !) is inspiring me to show it off in anything form fitting.  For any petite preggos like me, wearing anything too baggy or tent-like at this point (and I’ve been know to love oversized boyish cuts ) runs the risk of making me look muy grande all over.

I styled this look with crisp white sneaks (don’t think your old dad-like New Balances or running sneaks will do the trick here– the key to sneaks with a dress is that they are clean, white preferably and simple in design) for a boyish, athleisure-ish vibe and my other fave cheapie score, this tan suede Forever 21 jacket to pull the look together.  Overall, part 90s (stripes, even with a hint of glitter thread!!!), part 70s, kinda tomboyish, a little preggo– 100% me.

I’ve rounded up a few similar high neck body con dress picks for you guys– they’re great for day to night, work to drinks and dinner, and are great for layering under blazers, jackets, and sweaters. Pair a dress like this with ankle booties (making sure there are a few inches of skin between the hem of the dress and the top of the bootie!), sneaks like I did here, loafers or a funky lace up heel.

Have a great week!
