FROM THE ARCHIVES: Kick It's Fabulous Fashion Friday, April 20th: Yacht Stripes for Summer

Thick, variegated horizontal stripes are all the rage this Summer because they are so exciting and bold!   Also know as "yacht" stripes, these fabrics seem to vibrate on the body. Here are two dress looks--one knee length and one floor length version. So easy to wear & pair with outrageously cute accessories! Summer Soiree's here we come!


Lumiere yacht striped maxi, fully-lined, $46.
Fredd &Bascha "Ronan" Bag, $46.
Harley Davidson, Maggie heel, $78
It's almost a "Where's Aldo?" situation with that Bag on that Dress!

Next up, this wild striped stretch semi-wrap dress ($32) in that cool-to-the-touch fabric. This look is so easy and packs a colorful punch.

We absolutely adore the knee-length hemline: so flattering and feminine.
The "flouncy" A-Line of the skirt and the unever "watercolor" stripes balance the way the bold print follows her curves.  
We couldn't resist piling on the striped accessories.  It really worked!
(Straw sunhat with chiffon ribbon, $18).
A close-up of that to-die-for bag. I love the way the black and white stripes  on the bag interplay with those on the  dress.

Go bold, girls, and do not fear the horizontal stripes. You will be positively vivacious!
Yours in style,
Imogene
