Tuesday Trend Day: Stripes

Posted in shopping, styles, trends

August 20, 2013

We are close to the end of summer, I’m sorry but it is true. One trend that works well for this time of year is stripes. I like clothing with stripes; there are causal and dressy striped pieces. A striped shirt or dress is a classic wardrobe staple. Add a statement necklace and some wedges to dress it up or keep the casual look with flats and simple jewelry. You can choose thin stripes, wide stripes, a black and white combo, a blue and white combo, or a colorful stripe mix.

I shopped online at Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy because there was a sale today. Here are my results:
