| Dress- Anthropologie (remixed like this); Belt & Clutch- Thrifted; Earrings- Aldo; Shoes- Pierre Dumas When I was younger I dreamt of being a candy striper. Wearing the cute red & white striped uniform while helping patients in the hospital seemed like the perfect fit for me. So in High School I applied for a voluntary candy striper position at my local hospital. I even remember asking in the interview if I would get to wear the uniform. Unfortunately the answer was no, I guess these sexed up nurse outfits had been made redundant decades ago (although having someone who looked like this tend to my bedside would probably make me feel better in a heartbeat!) |
 |
| This is my Super Candy Striper Pose. Even though I couldn't wear the cute uniform, I still loved my voluntary position in the hospital, especially working with Alzheimer patients (my Nana had dementia so it is an illness that is near and dear to me). |
 |
| I feel like a whirling dervish! |
 |
| Ok, ok I got another spray on tan (I think I'm addicted- although it does fade drastically after your first shower) |
 |
| This is what I would wear as an adult candy |
love the outfit!
ReplyDelete-heart your front-handed comment bff
I adore this dress. The varying lines and colours keep the eyes moving and the cut is so sophisticated. You look like you could be out shopping in the Hamptons! I thought the term was candy stripper for the longest time - good thing I didn't apply for THAT job. - Kat

supercute dress :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! How can you beat being helpful to sick people while dressed up in a cute striped outfit?! Although I don't know if real c-s's wear such snazzy heels. :)
ReplyDeletePretty dress! When was the last time they made candy stripers wear those uniforms? It seems like you only see them on TV or in the movies now hehe
ReplyDeleteI could never pull off a bold stripe pattern like this but you do it so effortlessly – I love this look on you!

I wanted to be a candy striper, too -- just for the outfits. They are so cute!!! I would totally sex up the outfit, though, and probably get kicked out and never invited back because I look like a slutball ... blahblahblah. Lame. This outfit is absolutely ahhhhh-dorable. I love it!

I never understood the title Candy Striper. I guess it matched the outfit but what did that have to do with volunteering in a hospital? Eh. I'm sure you were a FABULOUS candy striper though! :)
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks lovely on you! I love the colors in it and the twirl is so fun!

Great post - very adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous on you. And your tan is pretty great too. I can't find a tanner that works. i tried the booth that sprays the tan on you, but after I ate half of the shot that sprays the front, I never went back. So gross.
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous.
xo,
Tracy
You look really good with the spray tan. At first I was like how did you get so tan! The dress is so cute, and that volunteer position sounds like it would teach someone a lot.
