Who is apprehensive about wearing horizontal stripes? Not me! “They” say bottom heavy women shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes because they add to your girth. Well as you can see I don’t care about what “they” say because I love stripes! And I am loving the way this skirt is hugging my curves.  I have conquered white jeans and vertical stripes, my next fashion faux pas will be wearing a crop top!  I hear they are only for juniors, lol.

    *e-hi five* I am a long time lurker on your site (*blushes* lol).  Though I love your style, I haven't ever felt the need to say so.  Today is a new day!

    I love you for flipping the bird to "they" who supposedly know what flatters our bodies better than us! Stores have dressing rooms and mirrors for that very reason – for ME to decide what I look good (and not so good in).  You look great in your stripe skirt and given that we have a similar hour glass shape…I shall make my way to the mall to find one LOL!

  2.  *waving* Hey! Thank you so much for coming out of hiding and commenting! People always telling other people what they should do and wear, blah! I was going to link the skirt in my post but it isn't available online anymore.  I am sure you can probably still get it in store =)

  3. i love this look on you!
    i like the stripes with an unexpected solid; it always looks good!
    and i dont know who "they" are, but they are usually wrong when it comes to me also.  Kudos!

  4. I think when "they" speak it is not in reference to us women with curves)! I agree with the previous comments made, if I like something I wear it as long as I know it looks good on me. Let me just tell you; you are wearing that skirt and I heart the way you styled it*__*

    Simply Fab!  And the pop of color with the cardi brings it all together.  Love it!

  6. I am fairly new to your site. Let me tell you, I am addicted. Your fashion sense is on point. I'm going to go broke trying to duplicate your outfits. LOL. Honey, you give me life;-)

  7. I love this look. I would love to recreate it, bt my striped skirt is not work appropriate :(! Rules are meant to be broken, and you look great while doing it!

    I have a skirt just like that and I have the curves to match. Can't wait to wear it my skirt. You inspire me and you look fab.
    But, i am waiting to see how you are going to pull off that cropped top. Where is Ashley? I haven't saw her blog in my inbox in a while.

  12. I wanted to stop by and thank you for this post.  I needed a little cardigan for pop with my new black with white polka dot top.  This darling outfit on you was a perfect inspiration, and I forgot Old Navy had nice cottony cardi's.  When I followed the link to Old Navy, I found a 25 percent off coupon and came home with 2 cute and comfy cardi's!  Thank you.  

    Glad I found your blog.  You have a great sense of style and color in fashion.

  13. You are so welcome, Oldnavy has been having some amazing sales and they have the best affordable cardigans in every color.
