Eco Fashion: Stripe Dress With a Twist


Stripes continue to be big news in fashion and this organic 100% cotton jersey dress from People Tree is the perfect go to dress this summer. Paired with hi-rise wedge or flat sandals this dress works for the office or out for lunch and shopping with friends.

I love the asymmetric twist shoulder detail, which elevates this eco dress above being just another tee shirt dress and gives it a little more fashion savvy. Its short capped sleeves and scoop neckline add effortlessly to its style.
