STRIPES AND BRIGHTS

Here's a confession: I have a TERRIBLE sense of style — so bad that you barely see any outfit posts on this blog. (I know. What's a girlie blog without outfits, right?)

But I am trying to change that.

So here goes my first outfit post in a long, long time...

To add casual yet pleasing pieces to my wardrobe, I chose this long striped knit top.

It is very comfy to wear, and flatters the figure.

I LOVE it.


A while ago, some readers suggested adding colors to my outfits — totally agree!

Here is one of my favorite shirts in a lovely shade of yellow.

A bright idea, right?


Any other fashion suggestions?

I would love to hear from you!

  1. Love both outfits! A scarf or a statement necklace would make the yellow shirt a little more dressier.

  18. you look slinky and cute in the first outfit, and bright and summery in the second outfit. No, I don't see any "terrible" sense of style, I see a cute and sassy girl.

  22. You have a great figure so you can take major risks! Definitely add accessories. A chunky necklace, big earrings or a cute headband you jazz up each outfit a bit. Keep at it! XO

  40. I like your first outfit, it's perfect for a lot of accessories !
    Outfit no.1 : with this clothes you can use a fur vest, with a golden belt, lots of different kinds of golden bracelets, one gold ring in each hand, and black sandal with a huge high heel.

    Outfit no.2 : With this top you can use a leather legging, black flats boots, long silver necklaces and rings (a lot of them) and to finish with a pony tail !

    And the second outfit looks good just need some accessories as well !
