WIW - Stripe on Stripe.

Lyn D.

Veteran

Hi Fabbers,
This is what I wore to go shopping with my DDs today.
As we left one said I was looking very 'stripy'!
I deliberately added more stripes with this new thrifted jacket- hard to see but it has vertical stripes- not too much I hope?
The other DD didn't approve of the jeggings, but I felt that they were fitted enough to look OK?
Thanks for looking and feel free to comment please.
Have a lovely weekend!

I like it! I feel that your leggings read a little as a skinny jean, which is fab. And I like the stripes. And your boots, wow!

I like it too! I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of bling - earrings or a pendant?

Thanks Diane and Lantana!
I like the idea of a pendant, but haven't found THE one so far. Love earrings, but wanted to keep things simple with all the stripes going on.

Silver hoops? Nothing simpler.

Lyn this is a really "cool" looking outfit. I agree with Lantana that a lovely long silver pendant would just add a little something. This is gorgeous.

Love the tonal stripey layering in this outfit - fabulous. What brand are those incredible shoes Lyn? Love them.

LOVE this, Lyn!! You look sensational in these soft greys and the softness, subltety, and consistency makes the striped pattern mix work beautifully. As Angie says, these absolutely incredible shoes just make the outfit!!

Another vote for stripes! The monochromatic palette makes the multiple stripes work fine, I think. I think the jeggings are fine, although you could also do a heavy tight with this skirt, if you prepared. And the shoes are stunning!

So nice to wake up to your lovely comments Ladies!
Shannon- the booties are from an Aussie store called 'Rivers'- Deborah and I keep them in the black by owning most of their shoes
All their styles sell for around $40.00 AU, and they regularly have sales at half price!
Deborah and Lantana- I am going to look for a pendant necklace to fit the bill- love a fashion challenge!
Thanks for your input Angie et al.

I love the tone on tone nature of this outfit. It is one of my favorite looks to see, though I have no idea how to do it myself.

Thanks so much Krish!
This combination happened almost by accident Adelfa-
I usually put jackets on top of any top/dress that requires hanging. As the colours were similar this new jacket ended up on the striped dress, and voila-an outfit was created

I must say that Gregs work on the site makes life a lot easier. When I looked at this last night I really couldn't make out any detail. But now that I can view a decent size photo, I can tell you that this is a fun sassy casual look. Well done.
