FROM THE ARCHIVES: Fabulous Fashion Friday, Jan.13: Spotlight on Stripes

Happy Friday my Lovelies!!! Thin, thick, graduated or zigzag: black & white stripes are fun, fabulous and so easy.  Here's a few variations on this Friday's linear theme:


Bold, Brash and Beautiful Stripes
Bold grey, black and cream stripes in the sweater plus vibrant black in white scarf are softened by a grey plaid fedora, dark grey jeggings, grey boots.
The accessories give this outfit a finished look.
Even the buckles on these Medici leather boots ($156) spice up the look.
===================================
Cool, Calm and Collected Stripes
This elegant winged-sleeve striped sweater by GrassJeans ($39) is perfect for work or shopping.  The colorful giant tote by Luxessories ($48) carries your iPad, Laptop, lunch or your score from the mall.
I adore the varigated stripes in the sweater. The greys in the sweater pickup the greys in the boots.
The texture & color of this faux crocodile bag with braided handles adds a little "zing" to this
otherwise calm and easy-to-wear look.
===================================
Sexy, Sophisticated, ZigZag Stripes
This little number is actually a halter dress Kick It offered for New Year's eve, but I warmed it up with the boots, tights, black cardigan and red accesories for a fabulous friday (chilly) evening outfit.  
If you've been admiring the gorgeous red jewelry  in today's post, here's the deets: artist Allison Parrot, Pretty.Birds designs, paired oxidize sterling silver with rare vintage acrylic beads for this elegant set
borrowed from Ponytail Jewelry Studio, (Poppies, $124 for the set).
Notice the way the zigzag stripes float and cascade downward, but are "anchored" by the soft red scarf and jet black cardi and tights.
Why not add a striped canvas handbag by Fredd & Bascha ($48)
to really add some "kick"?


These are just a few of the striped statement tops now at Kick It. You probably have most of the accessories in your closet so stop in and pick up something striped for a quick Winter "pick-me-up" for your wardrobe.

Yours In Style,
Imogene
