Today's Outfit: More Stripes

Follow @caraallover

Finally! Proof that I am a crazy stripe woman! That's really all that I can say about my fetish at this moment. This dress from Forever 21 is easily my new favourite piece in my spring wardrobe. It's uber-soft, stretchy, comfy, and most of all - it's a maxi dress that goes to my toes. Being 5'9 means most maxis hit halfway between knees and ankles, and it makes me look...weird. It is said that horizontal stripes give the illusion that you're wider, which is usually a big fat fashion NO, but rules were made to be broken. It is true love, me and this dress, and you'll be seeing a lot more of it I'm sure. It's too bad that it was so windy during this shoot that you can't make out the beautiful blossom a-bloomin' on my trees, but enjoy :)

Serious Stripes Obsession.

Follow @caraallover Hello. My name is Cara and I feel as though I have something very important to get off my chest. I'm quite in love with stripes. So much so that it's getting weird, and my boyfriend is getting jealous. Well not really, but if you calculate the amount of time I spend wearing/trying on/buying stripes, it probably is just about equal to our relationship. My mother has to actively stop me, and remind me that I own at least one of every type of clothing in stripes. Email me if you're aware of any equivalent to AA for this. Long story short, it's an absolute classic pattern that never goes out of style, and can be worn all year long. These are some of the ones I'm currently pining over, sigh. If you're wondering how bad this obsession is, I already own a B&W dress like Red Velvet's, and already tried on the Joe Fresh ones the second they came out.
