Every year I search the city for perfect summer dresses to wear to work or for a night out; something that is simple and easy. Materials make a huge difference. I love silk. It is a natural fibre that feels great against your skin and helps you stay cool with the summer heat. This dress I found is vintage and I LOVE it. I feel like it’s a perfect mix of everything that I was looking for and can easily be worn dressed up or down given the occasion

Mixing patterns like stripes with florals can be make for an overwhelming outfit, but truthfully it’s all about balance. Making sure the contrast is exciting, and that you have an element in your outfit that give it a base, in this case it would be the black leather pumps and the moto jacket. They unite the outfit together and allow for the contrasting pieces to steal the spotlight.

Fashion Magazine asked the style panel how to style stripes for the updated trend. It’s a lot less nautical and a lot more graphic and edgy.  Here’s what I said.
