Fashion Idea: Black and Tan Stripes

March 14th, 2012

Since I have a pear shape (bigger on bottom than on top), I actually find stripes up top balance out my shape. I also love the length of this tunic- it comes down long enough to help camouflage my hips AND, this is super comfy and easy to throw together for a cute outfit!

Details:

Striped Tunic: Charlotte Russe (couldn’t find online )
Not your Daughter’s Jeans: Macys
Shoes: Charlotte Russe (last year)
Earrings: Forever 21
Bracelet: Express (last year)

Do you like wearing stripes? I only own 2 things with stripes as I’ve always been scared to wear them, but I’m branching out!

I am a bigger woman so generally if I wear stripes, they’re vertical. I’m only 5’3″ so anything that elongates my body, I’m happy with. I love bright color and fun patterns and I find that they generally look better on me than stripes. They look stunning on you however.

I’m scared to wear stripes… But this outfit looks stunning on you! I love the shoes too. Maybe I’ll try to go out my comfort zone and get something with stripes..

a little personal and maybe not an appropriate question… but can you please suggest a good brand that makes full coverage BRA for heavy chested women. I am one and I always struggle to find good bras that hold well n provide good support. Somehow uncomfortable in wired bras. Wirefree is better. any suggestion….please share.

Thank you
