How To Wear: Stripes

Hi guys! Today I want to talk about stripes and how to wear them. 

Stripes (especially horizontal) can be tricky and they can play a bad joke on you. When choosing a stripy top, dress or trousers think about your body type and be careful not to 'cut' your body in wrong and weird places. Remember that horizontal stripes are likely to make you look wider and bigger than you actually are while vertical ones will do just the opposite and will visually slim you down. That said if you wear a monotone (black in my case) coat or jacket, horizontal stripes become less of a danger. 

For my outfit I decided to go monochrome and minimalistic. A simple look like this needs the right choice of accessories to breath more life into it. I added a bit of a grunge feeling with the studded biker boots and an oversized chain necklace. 

I was thinking of making more of HOW TO posts in the future, so please email me if you have any specific trends, occasions or items that you'd like me to discuss. Think boyfriend jeans, neon accessories, hats as well as dressing for an interview, for a party, etc. You name it! 

Looking forward to hearing from you! xo

It's a new week and I thought I'd start it with something fun! I felt that I wanted to do something different from the usual outfit post and after browsing through Pinterest for inspiration, I got obsessed with the minimalistic and messy hair kind of images. 

I'm happy with the result and I hope you'll enjoy this post too x

A super quick post to show you my current go-to outfit when I want to feel very comfortable yet still cool. I have picked up this sweater and coated jeans at GAP last week and couldn't be happier with my choice! I have looked for the affordable, yet very good looking wet-effect jeans for quite some time now and had no idea that they were hiding at GAP. 

I am also glad to welcome pointy flats back! Last time I owned a pair was during my school years. Then the fashion changed to the round toe styles and after a decade or so, here we are again! 

Hope everyone's week is going great! x
