So, I finally got together my pictures for this series: Black and white stripes! I even tried to break up the monotony by doing a dress, skirt, and pants look, though all the outfits are really very basic. I wanted the stripes to be the star so no over accessorizing.
I really loved this chevron striped party dress as it has a nice rockabilly feel. Alas, I barely got it on and had to smash my breasts down to do it. As size five B cups want this dress? It was only worn for the pictures and I had to change to something else the night I wanted to wear it out.....so sad.
I wore the dress with just basic black tights and cute little black and white maryjanes, probably my favorite heels. I love that it's snug at the breast and waist and flares out in the skirt.
And a back view to see the little bow tied messily in the back.
And here I am being a jerk and jumping on the bed. I can never get pictures to take right in the bedroom because of the purple walls, I think. Color adjust just makes things worse. This is a casual look, for going to flea markets in the early hours.
Here's a better view to see my red flats. I just wanted a little splash of color. It's hard to tell that the tee shirt is striped because the stripes are so tight. Worn here with a denim skirt and black tights.
Outfit details: Black stripe tee(thrifted); denim mini skirt (Calvin Klein); black tights (Hue); red flats (payless)
And my favorite of the three looks. This is my cowl neck stripe top worn with sailor cut jeans and black and white spectator peeptoes.
I went thrifting with my best friend in this and I just felt really comfortable. I think I'll do this one again, which is rare for me. Usually I just wear things once and no matter how much I love them I just can't stand to look at them again. Maybe it's because I have so many pictures to remind me.
Outfit details: black and white cowl neck top (thrifted); wide leg jeans (style and co); spectator peeptoes (steve madden).
Did you have to bribe your husband to get those purple walls?
ReplyDeleteoh my! I love, love all your stripes!! Particularly the first dress matching the shoes! I find it's always good to have a pair of red flats on hand to add a little colour.
