I've had this Jacob dress for a while now, but had experienced a bit of trouble accessorizing it in a way that felt fresh to me. While I love gold jewelry, pairing it with the tawny hue seemed slightly predictable and a little played out (at least on my part!). Coming across a clearance priced necklace the other day was what finally inspired an outfit: the white and silver felt clean and crisp, and I knew they would make for perfect summertime accents. It also gave me a reason to also wear these flats again to create an unabashedly coordinated look.
Wearing: Jacob Dress (c/o), YesStyle jacket (last seen here), Stuart Weitzman flats (last seen here), Coach bag (old, c/o), necklace from The Bay, Joe Fresh earrings (similar)

Beautiful look! I do like silver with this. I'd normally reach for gold too, but this is much more fresh.

This is such a gorgeous look! I saw that Jacob dress awhile back too, definitely looks way better on you than me. The silver touches are absolutely stunning and add to this very Jen-esque look :)
Hope you have a lovely week! xo

I love that you went against the grain and did silver accents with this nautical dress. The shoes are adorable too! I love the chic simplicity of it all.

So chic, Jen! The white and silver tones really do bring a fresh and bright spin to your striped dress. Your make-up looks fabulous too!

Jen! Chic has got to be your middle name. :) I have striped dresses like this, but I never style it as gorgeous as you do. I normally just throw on a chambray shirt and some bright colored flats. LOL. I'm so envious of your flats. They are beautiful! You wouldn't happen to be a size 8, would you? hahaha.
Well, I hope you've been well and here's to an amazing week!
xx Love & Aloha

That is such a beautiful trench coat!
I've been thinking about getting a classic tan trench recently, but I'm quite inspired by your navy one!

forever chic you are my dear!
Love the dress...and you are right, silver is a nice departure from time to time..I wear mostly gold...mixing it up gives you a totally different look:)
Hope you are well.

I lovvve this dress (I almost bought it too, but it just didn't fit me right! So sad!) and I love it paired with the navy trench! Such a gorgeous, classic combo! I've been wanting to expand my silver jewelry collection as well - I LOVE gold, but there are days where it either doesn't work, or, like you say, just seems to predictable! Love the direction you took here! xo!
