BOLD STRIPES

Two of my favorite things, gold and stripes! Today, my outfit combines the two and I am so excited to share it with you. I added a large belt not only cover the waste band, but to also add another element to the dress. Using a belt breaks up an outfit and defines your waistline. My clients always have this view of stripes that it makes them look heavier, but to me I think stripes are only a distraction and I find them to be very flattering! I always say that "if you wear something with confidence, it creates a whole new look". The gladiators give the dress an edgier feel but for a more sophisticated look, try a closed rounded toe pump like these! 

Happy Memorial Day and thanks for reading!!
