EARN YOUR STRIPES
After seeing THAT H&M striped suit all over Insta (and loving it, I have to admit), I haven't been able to look at my feed without stripes looming out at me. So I came to conclude that the stripey look is a definite fast emerging trend for this spring. However, I wasn't quite prepared for just how much of the horizontals and verticals were out there so this post has taken me absolutely ages.
I'm really taken with the full striped blazer and trousers/skirt combo. I think it works excellently with a nice pair of trainers, pair of DMs or with heels for that all important night out. it's such a versatile look and I think you'd get loads of mileage out of this spring buy.
As with many a trend, however, this may not stay around for long with it being such a bold choice (although my Top Shop humbug trousers I bought months ago will be staying with me forever), but I've tried to whittle it down to great pieces you can dress up or down. Why not a great suit which you can wear as a two piece as an audacious choice for a wedding or separately pairing the trousers with an oversized knit and maybe the blazer with some grungy jeans and heels.
Just so you know though, we are talking all over stripes here. No side stripe, Breton or hint of stripe, this goes all the way .......
The ball is definitely in your court with this one as the choice is endless .....
CO-ORDINATES
Here's the H&M combination I was talking about. A whole suit for under £60!!!..........
I'm a fan of the humbug look having bought a pair of Top Shop trousers last year in blue and black and living in them......
This number is from Monki. You can buy the trousers and blouse separately but I'm kinda liking the whole look......
If you dressed this up with heels this is a killer night out outfit
I absolutely love this - this is called a 'Pajama Set' but I think this combo would be wasted spent hidden in the comfort of your bed and I'd definitely wear this out - together or separately
ALL KINDA TOPS ........
SWEATS & KNITS .......
SKIRTS & DRESSES .......
TROUSERS & JUMPSUITS ......
Love these but they may be better left to the youngsters!!! They look pretty unforgiving so if I did brave these, I think maybe I'd pair with a longer loose sweatshirt to hide my butt!!
These are definitely floating my boat......

OUTERWEAR ............
So way out of my budget but I can dream ......
SHOES & ACCESSORIES ......
