8 New Ways to Wear Striped Styles this Summer
Southern Curls and Pearls, Champagne and Channel

The stripes trend has always been a summer must with the classic navy and white duo appearing on boat-neck tops, dresses and even pumps. Across runways, celebrity streets and blogs, those classics stripes have taken on a modern and chic update. From metallic stripes to bold black and white, this trend is already catching on quick. I want to give you some chic new ways to show off your stripes along with some of my favorite new striped items you’ll want to wear everywhere.

Chambray and White Romper

This little romper sticks to the neutral tones of off-white and chambray stripes. The V-neck and the adjustable waist will show off your curves while the ruffled bottom and bow on the back maintain a flirty, yet casual, elegance. Plus, the little pop of coral color given by the tassel ties exudes the essence of summer. You can find the exact romper from the picture here, but this romper is a little pricey so I've included look-a-likes here and here.

Black and White Maxi-Romper

Next, the romper-maxi. This new style is starting quite the fashion revolution, combining two fashion faves, the maxi-dress and the romper, all in one! The vertical stripes of the skirt section create the illusion of a slimmer, taller physique, which is greatly appreciated by petite women like myself. I love anything that makes my legs look longer! The draped shoulder straps and ruffles on the bust of the outfit provide a soft contrast to the edgy, split skirt. You can find the exact romper here or a similar style here.


Classic Blue and White with a High-waist Twist

If you want to stick with the classic blue and white, try out these high-waisted dress shorts to take the original pairing to new heights. The front pleat details and long lines create a slimming effect while showing off your legs. Pair with a white or even blue top and some neutral-toned pumps to complete the look! The exact shorts can be found in store at your local Dillard’s location or online at Dillards.com.

Strappy Styles with Stripes

Get strap-happy with this multi-colored maxi that will take you straight to your summer paradise. This fully-lined, ankle-length dress plays with different widths and colors of vertical stripes. The showstopper of this striped dress is the strappy back! The straps are adjustable, and the front features a waist-tie with tassels and a feminine ruffled hemline. You can find the exact style here.

For the "Frill-Seekers"

This frill-top dress will have you wanting to set sail in navy and white horizontal stripes. I actually saw this dress in Bevello a few weeks back and it fits like a glove! The soft jersey material hugs your curves while giving you a breathable and comfortable wear. My favorite part of this dress is the edgy slit over the left leg that opposes the horizontal pattern. Plus, it makes the dress far easier to walk in. I actually splurged and got this one for myself! I absolutely love it. A classic trend on a modern style is always a must. Check it out here!

Go Long!

Don't be afraid to wear some of your long-sleeved striped shirts in the early summer and late fall! They are great transition pieces between seasons and give a playful twist on the classic "t-shirt and shorts" look that most would be wearing. Playing with these contrasting lengths, especially with these invigorating stripes, will give an interesting, edgier twist to your go-to look.

This boatneck tee can found here.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
