I remember reading in a magazine when I was younger that wearing stripes is not flattering and you should avoid them. Well that’s a myth. And to prove that, I’ve gone with stripes on stripes! Oh yes to those of you haters of stripes please close your eyes as I’ve dared and worn a striped top with a striped skirt. Oh no, call the fashion police I’ve broken a rule! Well rules are there to be broken right. Well some rules perhaps.

I actually don’t own anything that has vertical stripes so I can’t dispel the myth that vertical stripes make you look taller. Although I gladly welcome anything that makes me look taller without having to wear heels. But horizontal stripes, well they can be flattering so don’t avoid them.

With this outfit I’ve gone with the good old belt bringing the two pieces together. As i’ve said before belts really can make your outfit pop. So don those stripes, grab that belt and let’s go!
