I am (and always have been) curvy and more pear shaped and I hear from other similarly-shaped women\u00a0all the time\u00a0<\/em>that they still are afraid to wear a striped dress. They are afraid that a striped dress will make them look wider or more hippy or whatever… there’s still a lot of hesitation around wearing stripes for some women. And that is okay! But I am here to tell you that you don’t HAVE to feel that way! This striped dress from Aventura clothing<\/a> has been a favorite this summer because it’s\u00a0so\u00a0<\/em>comfortable and easy to style. SO I thought I’d use this great dress to show you how to style a striped dress!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

For me, it’s all in balance and finding ways to call attention to other parts of your body that you *do* want to focus on.<\/p>\n

First – break up the stripes by giving it structure.<\/strong>\u00a0What I mean is, throw on a blazer, cardigan, a jacket, or a vest Aventura clothing<\/a>. The simple act of throwing on a layering piece can really give your outfit\u00a0structure\u00a0<\/em>which can help with drawing the eye away from areas you might be more conscious of.<\/p>\n

\"Aventura \"Aventura<\/p>\n

Second – accessorize!\u00a0<\/strong>Find a necklace you love – I am in LOVE with this wrap necklace from 7 Charming Sisters<\/a>. Super affordable, simple, chic, and can be worn so many different ways! Throw in a great bag or a chic pair of earrings and you are good to go.\"How \"How \"Aventura \"How<\/p>\n

And lastly, third – pay attention to the CUT of the dress.\u00a0<\/strong>For me, I prefer an a-line cut because I like the way it shapes me better than something more form-fitting. There is a time and a place for form fitting, for sure… but in this instance, I want something that flows AWAY from the body. If you are larger chested, look for something that draws more attention to your hips.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day wear what makes you comfortable and makes you feel amazing. But don’t shy away from something as classic as a striped dress, JUST because you think you “can’t wear it.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about you? How do you like to style a striped dress?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
