You’d think I’m obsessed with stripes or something, which is funny because up until a couple of years ago, I avoided stripes at all costs. People would tell me “bigger women shouldn’t wear stripes because it makes them look wider,” or “They aren’t flattering for your figure.” And I believed them, just like so many other curvy women who still stay away from stripes. However, the pattern has been making a huge statement in fashion recently, and I am living for all of it. If you hate the stripy posts, you may want to stay away for a while, because this won’t be the last time you’ll see them on this blog!
I might have a thing for striped pants. They are so bold, fun, and give any look an adventurous and chic feel. I love how the vertical stripes also elongate my short little legs. These Jazmine Stripe Pants are so cute, and I love the colors. When I wear stripes I try to stick to a monochromatic looks so that the outfit isn’t too busy. But I made an exception for these muted earth and navy tones because they add a new color palette to my closet without being too overpowering or busy. Since summer is starting to show itself, I paired the pants with this fun and sexy Vikkie Ruffle Top from Fashion Nova Curve. This look will definitely be on rotation this summer. I topped off the look with my green circle bag that I got from Zara a couple of months ago.

SIZING INFO: I am wearing a size 2X in the Jazmine Stripe Pants, which is my usual size, and the pants fit perfectly. The pants do not stretch at all. So if you are looking for a more comfortable fit, then I would size up to get a looser fit. I am wearing a size 3X in the Vikki Ruffle Top, which is a size larger than my usual, and it fits nicely. This top runs true to size, but I ordered a size larger because I didn’t know it was a crop top. Whoops!
