TREND TROTTING THURSDAY- "I SEE STRIPES"

‘ TREND TROTTING THURSDAY ‘ is a bi-weekly style series where every other week I will invite a different guest blogger to style a look based on a certain, mutually-chosen-trend. It could be related to fashion, beauty, accessories or shoes………. not to worry, we’ll have it all covered. Feel free to suggest or request a particular trend you would like to see here.

So one blog, two bloggers….one trend, two trendy looks……a win-win for both our readers and us.

Today’s theme for TTT is stripes. Elena and I have put together two looks for you and also have a few Do’s and Dont’s for wearing this trend.

Thanks to Elena for agreeing to my co-host for the first edition this ongoing project.

Elena’s ( DC in style ) DO’s for wearing stripes:-

Do wear a dress like her’s, with stripes running diagonally across the dress, it is universally flattering.

Throw on a denim jacket over stripes or wear them with a more structured blazer. Stripes are appropriate for all occasions.

Saumya’s DONT’S for wearing stripes:-

Don’t shy from wearing horizontal stripes. Pick a size, decently spaced, that balances your bodily lopsidedness. In my case, I chose horizontal on the bottom to offset my broad shoulders.

Don’t go overboard with stripes and prints. Unless you are a print-mixing pro like her, let one print be the outfit-stopper, in this case the stripes.

Don’t stress out, horizontal stripes are fun too !
