FASHION OR FICTION: STARS IN STRIPES
Want to look fashion fabulous in a matter of minutes?? Just add stripes to your wardrobe.
Okay, now I know what you’re thinking, “Don’t horizontal stripes make me look fat??” Not the way we’re showing them. Here are a couple tips on how to rock stripes to make an effortless look, super chic.
Thin Horizontal Stripes: The widening effect is a lot less noticeable with thin, widely spaced stripes as opposed to larger stripes.
Stripes with Low Contrast: Horizontal stripes are less likely to widen you if they’re in colors without a lot of contrast. Instead of high-contrast black and white stripes, for instance, try lower-contrast grey or blue and white stripes.
Strategic Stripe Placement: Try to find a shirt that has horizontal stripes on your torso - but not on your shoulder, this can also work to flatter a your figure.
FASHION: Both British beauties Sienna Miller and Thandie Newton glamorize with stripes at different red-carpet events. They can pull off the wide stripes due to their very thin, boyish figures.
If you’re worried about wide stripes creating a wider effect, then opt for these thinner stripes shown for less than $60 at urban outfitters.
**Throw on a pair of spanx underneath. You’ll be surprised by the slimming results.
FASHION: Sailor stripes are all the rage these days. Celebs like Paris Hilton rock them in every color, like this top in blue and white stripes.
Replicate the look for an affordable price…Here are two options from Forever 21
This tunic is $17 and you can wear it all spring and summer.
While striped top is a steal at $5.
FICTION: Keep in mind when wearing stripes not to go overboard. You don’t want to get dizzy looking at it. Here’s what NOT to do: Taylor Swift

I notice there are no photos of full figured women in these fashion forward horizontal stripes... I'm not rotund, by any means, but I am curvy, and stripes make me look FAT! No, not PHAT, FAT! O.o
ReplyDeleteWhy is this here?
ReplyDeleteScabies Hilton does not "rock" anything except for the valtrex.
ReplyDeletePlease stop doing these. They're just ghastly and embarrass the site.
ReplyDeleteactually i think paris looks boring and taylor looks really cute and creative!
ReplyDeleteI really hate how these get slipped in here later in the day. Like, do you think you're not going to get nailed for it later? Look, your opinion is skewed, the fashion is shit, and the writing is akin to a 6 year old. Save it, cause we're not buying what you're selling. BOOO!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'll never watch/read/buy ANYTHING that this chick promotes cause she has tainted this blog with her bullshit. So keep it up, keep alienating people until you're selling oranges on the freeway off ramp, cause that's where you're headed.
What the hell is this??
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't here yesterday? I don't get it. Someone explain please??
@Sue Ellen - How can she slip these posts in without Enty agreeing to it?? Shouldn't Enty be the one not allowing these to post??
I've been reading this blog for a few months now and I think the "guy" who runs this blog is actually Adrianna Costa. I could go into it, but it seems fairly obvious at this point.
ReplyDeleteI logged in this morning to find a pop-up any time I touch within this page. Thus, I am done with this BS anyway, so couldn't care any less than I do this second. Adios!
If you guys hate it so much, just ignore it. No comments = no popularity.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I got weird pop-ups everytime I logged in today too :(
ReplyDeleteIt's only happened today, this morning.. It is not happening now.
Now those are some budget options I could afford. Except that I wouldn't get caught dead shopping at Forever 21. Bring on the Target fashion! (No, really, sometimes they have great cute clothes, I swear!) :)
