WIW: CK striped shirt

Victoria

I'll be honest, to me this is rather boring outfit but I don't know what the best way to style it because the shirt already has stripes and other details so I don't want to add other accessories. I like the color and silky soft fabric but I don't know about overall style. BTW, I can't wear this untucked(its too long on me) or half tucked(because while its looser style but its nipped in the waist so partial tucking doesn't look good). I feel kind of "meh" about this outfit so if anyone has other ideas on styling, let me know!

Hmm.. I am used to seeing you wearing accessories. How about a cami underneath and the shirt knotted or open? A scarf maybe? Possibly a belt that is thicker and makes a little more of an impact?

Meredith: I am wearing small necklace and earrings but I kind of feel almost naked without a scarf, LOL. I tried a scarf but felt is a bit too busy with the stripes.

You can definitely add one of your signature scarves or a contraSt colour belt and/ or bag. But you still look fab.

The shirt is a lovely colour on you, Victoria. I realize it's too warm where you live for an extra top layer, so I was thinking perhaps switch out the belt for a wider, animal print one (I do love the fun contrast between stripes and animal print) or another print. Or try a brighter coloured or patterned shoe, I'm always amazed at how easily that can change the feel of an outfit.

Looks good but a contrasting belt and necklace that picks up the same contrasting color would probably jazz it up.

White accessories perhaps. I keep a few solid-coloured scarves on hand to go with prints, so that's something else to consider. And although I am not a fan of pattern mixing, this is a very subdued stripe, so if you have a scarf that picks up both the blue and the black, and adds white (very important for the brightening effect), I don't think it would be over the top at all.

Or you could just up the bling factor, with a chunky, shiny bracelet, and/or bigger (shiny!) earrings, and/or a less discrete necklace. In other words, just add more sparkle. It would play nicely off the very sober look of the clothing and balance everything out.
