Lookbook: Cropped Trousers

Tahari Cropped Trousers (Marshalls); J.Crew Tall Stretch Perfect Shirt; J.Crew Belt; Tommy Hilfiger Bag; J.Crew Viv Stripe Flats; H&M Earrings and Bracelets

Cropped trousers with a flattering cut and a classy shoe can work well on taller women. Just make sure the hemline is level with the lower calf—not the widest part. You may need to shop around for the right fit for you.

And yes, I'm on a roof!

Monthly Style Obsessions: June

4. Bow embellishment (London Rebel Classic Pointed Toe Ballerina)
5. Bright colors (Ivanka Trump Aida Slingback Flat)
6. Cutouts (Joan & David Collection Women's Hayli Flat)
7. Leopard (J.Crew Viv Printed Patent Flat)
8. Simple black (Nine West Superfly Flat)

Lookbook: Horizontal Stripes

Reformed by the Reformation Williams Dress; Old Navy Flip Flops; H&M Earrings; Forever 21 Bag; Express Bracelet

Here’s another knee-length dress for you! As I mentioned in my last post, this length and style dress is flattering on tall women.

Regarding the horizontal stripes―lately I’ve been doing some research because I wasn’t convinced that they make you look wider. There are some very mixed opinions out there including the theory that horizontal stripes actually make you look thinner. Crazy, right? See article here.

My verdict? I think it depends on a lot of factors (width of stripe, color, etc.), so if you like horizontal stripes, just wear them!  I fell in love with this dress, even though it had horizontal stripes.

The outfit would look better with a nice pair of summer wedges, but alas, I'm wedge-less. Let me know if you have any recommendations!

What are your thoughts on horizontal stripes?
