Pastel Pretty

I know what you’re thinking, stripes AGAIN?! Guilty as charged, I love stripes. I never used to really have a “uniform” or a print I was particularly drawn to, but for some reason the past year I keep buying stripes! I grew up thinking stripes made me look wider, and although there is some truth to that depending on the type of fabric or how tight the item is, I think thin stripes elongate my body (especially when they’re vertical!) Plus they’re such a classic print that you can match different prints with them like florals or more stripes. I love this dress from Pitaya because with the cut of the dress, the stripes almost make a bell curve which slims my hips and draws the eye down my leg versus across my stomach like some thicker stripes. Also I suggest when wearing stripes to mix sizes of the stripe (like this dress) or keep the stripes thin or closer together to slim your body. Happy Tuesday and comment on my Instagram what your favorite print is!
