Recent Looks

I do not post my own outfit photos the way most bloggers do. I don't have someone to follow me around while I prance about in my outfit. I don't have a fancy camera either. My pics are taken with my iPhone and I am the photographer. Oh well. I guess I also feel shy about posting my outfits because I think "who really cares?" but I know how much I love seeing bloggers post outfit pictures, so what's the big deal? Stupid insecurities!

Whatevs. Here are some of my most recent outfits.

Stripes on Top

As of late, I have been going through my closet and making a mental note of things that I need to add to my wardrobe (remember my Resolutions post? More classics, less fads) and things that I need to rid myself of (more of that to come in the future!). So during this process, I couldn't help but notice that many of my tops were striped. I do remember buying a few striped tops back in December (as mentioned in this post) but I guess I have purchased even more since then!

I know the rule of thumb is that vertical stripes make you look taller/longer, while horizontal stripes tend to make you look wider. But honestly, I don't pay too much attention to rules like that - unless it's extreme in some sense. I just buy and wear what I like. I think everyone should dress that way! Here are some of the stripes I wear on top.

J.Crew

I just received this from an online order the other day & I love it!

Forever 21

I love this top - the metallic stripes add just a hint of sparkle!

Tinley Road - Piperlime

Another recent purchase...and on sale!

StyleMint also has great striped tees for just $29.99!

I have the Broadway tee in red (which now also comes in a dress style!), but they also have other great striped tees in different colors! Search for - Venice, Fillmore & Lenox!

And I think this dress from Old Navy needs to be added to my closet asap!

Do you wear stripes on top? Do they play a major role in your closet?
