All about those stripes

For those of you who have been following me on Instagram for some time, you will know that I love a good stripe. They are perfect to pair with classics, like denim and black pants, but they are also a great way to mix your patterns.

I find that when I am trying to mix things up and add a pop of color, stripes just seem to go with everything. This is a great way to revamp those pieces you are tired of and bring them back to life. My favorite combination with stripes (besides jeans) is pairing with a floral pattern. It is such a fun way to bring in those spring floral trends and make them pop with a contrasting pattern.

What are some of your favorite ways to wear stripes? 

Xo - Jacs 

This top has the most amazing details – a little bit of a bell sleeve that buttons at the wrist – flowy and chic. 

Did I mention that these sunnies were only $20?! Do yourself a favor and buy them!

Casual Stripes

For those of you who have been following me for some time you know by now that I am ALL about that casual style. I think being comfortable and confident in what you wear, makes your style come to life. Adding something like a statement necklace or some earrings can make even the simplest outfit come to life.

Snappy Casual

Back in my college days, “snappy casual” was our attire word for all our sorority meetings and events. However, I still find myself using this word for those times when you want to be casual, yet still have a little "snap" or polished look to your outfit.

Living in Southern California, you definitely feel the desire for a laid back, casual outfit, but when you work 9 - 5 in a corporate office or when you want to dress up a little when going out with the girls, you need that "snap" to just kick it up a notch.

Madewell is always my go-to for this type of look (And let’s face it, every other look). Pairing a classic t-shirt or tank with a silk skirt is effortless and always looks good. I recently wore this outfit while out in Chicago with the girls and never felt over or under dressed!

So keep it snappy, keep it casual and let the good times roll.

Happy Friday!
