let's get nautical
ok, seriously, if you look like this, you've gone overboard with it!
This was actually my first buy, I loved that it wasn't stripes all the way. I liked the contrast of the thick band on the bottom and on the sleeves. Plus, the cowl neck was cute too. I really wanted to get one of those roped chain necklaces but I still haven't been able to find ones I like that aren't too over the top.
I almost walked out of the store without this one. They didn't have any left in my size on the table. Kevin (realizing how devastated I was) decided to ask the woman if we could have the one on the mannequin. I told him it wouldn't work because I've tried at many occasions and they always give me crap that they need to send that one back to the warehouse. I really think they're just too lazy to take it off, who knows. Or when they finally give in, they give me the ultimatum that if they take it off, I must buy it. But strangely, the woman agreed and even let me try it on first. I love the colors, I'm a big brown fan. I like the nautical look in colors besides the navy, white, and red. Plus, the belt is cute too.
Another twist to the nautical look. The top half has the stripes going on an angle and it has a cute tie/scarf vibe to it too. It's a fun color too!
This one is similar to the above one except it has a much lower cut (which of course I'd be layering up on) and it doesn't have the ties. Pair it off with a long chain and it's perfecto! Plus, it's long and I'm loving the long shirts right now. Looks good with jeans and capris.
Though I'm sure many of you are afraid that stripes make you look fat but I don't think it's always the case. It depends on the coloring and the width of the stripes. Now if you were going to wear a loose plain striped shirt, yeah that might make you appear wider than you really are. But stick with a fun color and ones that have different cuttings, such as V-necks, boatnecks, etc. You should also go with stripes that are a decent width. It's a little too much when the patterning only allows for like 5 stripes on the body (too thick). As well, if you don't want too much stripe attention, go for ones that have a solid strip lined on the top, bottom, or sleeves.
