Spring Trend 2013: Stripes…Figure Flattering Ways!!
Many people come to reinvention when life changes around them, but people come in all different stripes. I’m oriented to change.
Unlike Jane,I am into reinvention, but I definitely like my stripes a different way. I realize horizontal stripes are big on the trend scene…it is one of those trends which goes in and out on a regular basis.
But, for a curvy lady as I am, the horizontal stripe is not a figure flattering look. I bought this Daisy Fuentes top at Kohl’s last year. I love the diagonals of the top and how slender I feel in it. This is how to make a trend work for your body type…maybe go in a different direction!!
I have studied fashion rules for years (which I will discuss on Tuesday), but it does make a difference to learn what will flatter your body type. I also like the vertical stripes and find them to be flattering as well. Here are a couple of looks, first from Foxcroft Contrast Stripe; second from Talbots…both more figure flattering than horizontal.
Monday, I am participating in a few link ups…beginning, as always, with Visible Monday, Monday Bloom and Monday Mingle!
some great blogs from the link
ups,go out and have a
fabulous Monday!!
You were your stripes with much panache my dear!
Love the stripes – you have some gorgeous accessories on here!
Yes, your stripes are *very* flattering, Pam – you wear them so well! Thanks for sharing the look with Visible Monday xoxoxo
I love your version of the striped top!
Hi…very stylish, lovely bracelet in first picture too! xx
You know how to make the stripe trend work for you by tweaking it into a diagonal look. I really like the top on you! I only do vertical or chevron stripes myself. I'll skip the horizontals, thank you LOL!

Very flattering way to wear stripes, and I too agree, what fab accessories you chose.
That top you have with stripes is indeed figure flattering. GREAT earthy colors too.
i think with age comes wisdom and confidence and allows us to see the trends and make them our own… Great interpretation of the trend for your real life!
I love stripe tops in general, but I especially like the design of the one you're wearing. Very nice! I could see wearing this over and over. Nice look. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
Lovely. The necklaces with this look is so pretty.
You look great–You styled stripes in such a becoming way!

Love the stripes!
Absolutely GORGEOUS! These stripes really are great on you!!! Hugs! Serene
Hi Pam, so nice to see your smiling face! I actually bought a vertical striped shirt tonight on eBay for $15.99. 🙂
Your stripes go everywhere, all directions so the top is definitely flattering.I have a question is this the teachers office you are posing frequently ?
Pam, you look absolutely fantastic in this. I like the philosophy that goes with it too! Of course I have always been a fan of your jewellery stylings.
Always glorious, dear Pam.

I love it when a blazer doesn't look too squared, rigid and office like! Thanks for visiting me, truly appreciate it!
That is a figure-flattering stripe!
Love the shoes too. Looking forward to Tuesday's article.
Your outfit is calling my name today! Neutral chic! Love it!
What a great outfit! You look fabulous.

You wear these stripes with confidence, which shows on your face and in your pose. Whatever you're doing, you're going in the right direction and it radiates from the screen!
This is a beautiful look, Pam. I really like the jacket and you are perfectly accessorized. You have such a vibrant smile, which is your best accessory.
I'm a total stripes addict and believe there's a version fore everyone! Great advice!
