Dress: The Capri Dress- Corilynn(now available on Kickstarter). Bag: Forever21. Flats: Target. Necklace: TJMaxx. (similar.) Panama hat: JCrew.
Can I just start by saying thank you to all of you! Yesterday was an amazing day. AH-mazing. I was nervous (for obvious reasons) about launching a kickstarter, and also about sharing a video with me actually speaking in it. (Stupid irrational fear– hearing my voice on a recording.) And seriously, I couldn’t believe the response and all the kind words about our new line. I was doing the happy dance all day. Yes, the actual happy dance. I’m a nerd. I’m also really so excited to finally have these pieces out there for the world to see. They’ve been brewing in my head, and working their way to fruition for so long having them finally be real, well, it feels really good. ;-)
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can find our kickstarter here.
So a little about this dress… The inspiration for this dress came from my obsession with Italy’s Amalfi coast and the resort island of Capri. I love the Italian coastal towns, all stacked with bright colored buildings, and right on that crystal colored water’s edge. Anytime I wear stripes I feel like I belong by the ocean, and since I’m forever a California girl at heart, by the ocean is always where I’d like to be. There are so many things that inspire my designs– colors and shapes, places and people. Doesn’t matter where I am, when I put on this dress, I am there. Right there, walking the cobblestone streets of someplace lovely, and breathing that fresh salty air.
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” – Coco Chanel
Such a beautiful dress, love the side pockets, and the fact that you teamed it with flats, seems super comfy to me! <3

I pretty much love everything about this post, that dress, and your fashion philosophy overall. I just wrote a post a couple days ago about how the dress I was wearing took me right back to the day I wore it in Italy exploring the Amalfi Coast. It is so true that clothes can connect us to people and places and take us right back to a moment just like hearing a familiar song.
The mint accents look lovely with your striped dress!

Congrats on all of your success thus far! Your outfit is so very Spring!
So glad that they’re still selling mint in stores…
See your Insta post of you in the cheerleading uniform. Number one, your hair is not nearly as bad as you led us to believe…though it is flawless now. Number two, I can relate to how humiliating that was due to some similar situations I was in…I wish that I was more assertive at that age and could say, “No, I’m NOT doing that.”
I just backed the kick-starter hoping for this dress <3 I cannot wait – it is perfection! The exposed zipper and the coral colour and shut-up, pockets?!? You had me at Hello!
What a beautiful dress!
Hey Cori!
Absolutely in love with that look, you look stunning! Is the j.crew hat you have on the white or natural? I can’t tell in the picture and I’m totally wanting to copy that look! Already backed ya’ll on kickstarter!! So excited! :)
Thank you!
