Madewell Stripe Shirt (similar) | Levi Jeans | Sam Edelman Sandals | Ray Ban Sunglasses | Dogeared Necklace (here is the silver version)
Colorful stripe shirts are always a good idea for spring, at least they are to me! I feel like I go back and forth between neutral tones and bright loud ones depending on my mood. Today I’m bringing you some colorful inspo for your spring wardrobe. I love a bright shirt this time of year because it always gets me excited for that warm weather that will hopefully be here sooner than later. Plus it’s a super easy way to change up that same t-shirt and jeans uniform I have on rotation all the time.
Having always been a lover of stripes, there is a certain way I like to wear them so they compliment my body type instead of making me appear larger. The trick I have found is to pair the stripes with a higher waisted bottom (jeans, skirt, shorts) and to do what is called a half tuck. The half tuck (you can see it in my photos above) is taking one side of the shirt and tucking it into the bottoms you are wearing to give your waist some definition without having to tuck in the whole thing. It helps break up the proportions of your body so that your waist doesn’t get lost. I use the half tuck all the time especially because I am on the shorter side (5’3″) and I like that somewhat undone look. As a woman you want those curves being shown off in the best possible way. Try it out and tell me what you think!
