People say that stripes are very un-slimming, and are it good for your body, but I myself think that those people's opinions about stripes are wrong. Stripes have always been one of my favorite patterns, though shockingly, I barely have ANY striped clothes in my closet! Not only are they colorful and fun, they also really make you stand out. Stripes are perfect for any time of the year, though in the summer, you have the best opportunity to explore a bit with your stripes and patterns. For this post, I took to the local Banbury Place, a historical building in my city, to shoot some photos of my favorite outfits involving stripes. We (my photographer and I) thought it would be the perfect place, since the bricks on the buildings would really make the stripes really pop out. Here are my favorite shots.
I really liked this outfit. The striped shirt (from Victoria's Secret) really was cute and almost reminded me of a sailor! The thin black stripes and bright red logo really stood out to me, plus it is light and thin, which was perfect, because it was boiling outside! I paired this shirt with some black leggings and adorable sandals (from Francesca's), but the shirt could really go with anything, from shorts, to a cute skater skirt!
I wasn't exactly a fan of this orange and gray striped dress at first, but after trying it on, I really loved it. The gray stripes really make the orange pop out, plus I really like the buttons and the fact that the dress is very flown. It is a thicker fabric, so you could even wear it in the fall! Stripes are perfect for any girl, and I really recommend ladies to try them out this summer!
