Stripes are something every girl needs in her closet. They are classic, easy to style, and you can find them at affordable price points. My go-to air travel look is a black and white striped shirt with a soft scarf and colored skinnies, so I have a soft spot how versatile stripes are.
Forever21 is a fantastic place to find your stripes. I found this striped pencil skirt for under $25, and it’s been a wonderful addition to my closet. I can wear it with bright solids, prints, a crisp white dress shirt or in this case, a simple black blouse. This particular shirt was a fun find because of the one shoulder design and the sheer fabric detail on the sleeve. Since I’d just gotten a fire engine manicure, I decided to add a few red accessories and my favorite pair of red Louboutins to round it all out.
All in all, the skirt, blouse, sunglasses (which were only $3.80-a total steal for casual aviators), and my ring are all from Forever21….not bad, right? It’s a good feeling to find a host of things that work together all in one place. When I can’t find what I’m looking for in my size in store (like these printed jeans), I can always find it on Forever21.com.
Caution if you wear stripes in black and white: just make sure the stripes aren’t too far apart. You don’t want to look like a 1920’s prison inmate. You’ve been warned.
