GAP (San Francisco, USA) Striped Maxi Dress

An extended weekend getaway—happy replacement holiday for FT Day and a slightly early happy Thaipusam!—calls for cozy, throw-on-and-go pieces that can take you from morning lazing-arounds to afternoon excursions and even out to dinner, like this effortless, drapey maxi dress from Gap!

Some people say horizontal stripes are never flattering on a woman's body, but these celebs have proved the fashion critics wrong.

Sandals, oversized bag, cardigan/cropped jacket, a beautiful scarf, a belt, Starbucks coffee, baby—a striped maxi works with literally anything :-)
