Stripes on Stripes

My favorite looks from the spring 2013 runway shows were the all black and white stripes. It is known that stripes make you look wider than you are, but I strongly disagree with this myth. I think stripes are flattering and a true statement piece. I have never seen stripes on a gown before, but this Oscar de la Renta pictured above is breathtaking. It is true that stripes can be taken from formal attire to a daily casual outfit. I think the pattern is easy to style. When you are going to school or running errands throw on a striped blouse with a bright colored blazer and a simple pair of blue jeans. If you want to be a little more showy then throw on some black and white vertical striped jeans that you can pick up anywhere from Forever 21 to Free People. I jump started this trend in the fall, but I am excited to go full out striped this spring.
