Hi Pretties,
This OOTD was inspired by a recent “Pretty Perspective” on the robincharmagne Facebook page. On the Facebook cover page, I post a new handy dandy fashion tidbit each week. Last week, stripes were in the spotlight. For years, stripes were considered a fashion don’t for plus size women, but I think done correctly stripes work well for any body type. This stripe is wide and runs horizontally which makes the body appear leaner. The v-neck narrows the overall silhouette. The pants are a skinny ponte knit, a very wearable fabric. And the dark solid again makes for a slimmer overall silhouette. Of course boots are still on trend this year. This is a slouchy pair in a suede with the perfect heel height. I can wear these all day and my feet will still love me. And, the jewelry is old. Yes, statement necklaces are all the rage but sometimes with a stronger print such as stripes, simpler is better. I’ll probably re-run this outfit Thanksgiving day!

Do you wear stripes?

Keep it Pretty,

Up, Down, Sideways and Diagonal

Hello Pretties,

One of the hottest trends for Spring 2013 is Stripes. Yeah, I’m thinking the same thing, “Stripes can be tricky”. I’ve always heard that stripes really aren’t that flattering especially in a horizontal pattern. But good news, there are ways to wear stripes that are very fashionable. My picks via Bergdorf Goodman.

These stripes have simple lines which make them easy to wear or you could just do a striped accessory such as a shoe or a handbag. Do you dare try stripes, up, down, sideways,or diagonal?

And, let’s not forget today is the first day of Lent leading up to Easter Sunday. Many believers pledge to give up something specific, like sodas, television, or profanity. Me? I’m giving up sweets, wish me luck, y’all know I love a good cookie! What are you giving up for Lent?

Keep it Pretty,
robincharmagne
