Let's talk about stripes baby

 Many people make the assumption that stripes are unflattering if you do not have the figure of a super model. I am going to tell you that this is completely false. As a curvy girl, I once thought this too, but after taking the risk and trying something on with stripes, I was pleasantly surprise that I actually loved the way I looked. I will be honest and say that some stripes can be tricky, but if you stick to some simple rules you will be all set! 
Here are the rules I like to use before buying striped clothing items: 
1. Stick to classic colors - blues and whites and reds make it easier to match with and are more pleasing to look at 
2. Stripe for your shape - what I mean by this is if you are pear shaped or curvier on the bottom, try out stripes on top or if you have a bigger bust try stripes on the bottom. 
3. Pair down - stripes can make a bold statement so I like to pair simple and classic accessories with an outfit with stripes so that the outfit is not too loud, but still makes a statement
