The Look for Less: Seeing Stripes this Spring

This spring the nautical look is back and it is showing itself by putting stripes on just about everything. Lucky for you and me, stripes are an easily accessible trend because they are tres simple to find in both high & low shops- and between you and me, they look just about the same no matter how much you pay for them- stripes are stripes and as long as the clothes you wear fit you and aren't two sizes too small (hello muffin top)  you are going to look smashing.

So, head out to your nearest Intermix (top left, Chloe, $590) if your money tree is in bloom or your nearest Forever 21(right, $19.80) if you are a mere mortal and scoop up this easily accomplish-able trend. 

But don't get carried away! This is one of those good things that  you can get too much of... A little goes a long way.
