Cute Outfit of the Day: Bold Stripes

  jacket: Forever 21 $15
scarf: Goodwill $1.99
Erin Fetherston for Target top: Goodwill $3.99
jeans: Forever 21 $15
shoes: gift $0
purse: Forever 21 $7
Total Cost $42.98

This is an outfit I created a long time ago but I still love it! That's rare for me!  I get sick of things really quickly! That's why I'm afraid to get a tatoo! I first wore this outfit on a date with my hubby. He picked this jacket out when we were shopping at Forever 21 one day so I knew he liked it! Well, I ran into an old friend that night who said my jacket looked like Beetlejuice! (good friend, I know, right?) That was several years ago and I hadn't worn it much after that until I saw the Spring/Summer 2013 runways:

 Marc Jacobs
 Balmain
 Haider Ackerman
 Dolce & Gabbana
 Kasia Struss
Oscar De La Renta

and also a few similar looks from Tommy Hilfiger, Moschino, and  Fausto Puglisi but I think you get the point- black and white stripes are totally in and it seems like the bolder the better! So what do you think? Beetlejuice or Beautiful?

  12. Can't it be both??? I love that it's sort of beetlejuice but still amazing! I love that you pulled all of those S/S13 runway inspirations too, it's so gratifying when you save something like that and it becomes really in demand later on!

  16. Well, despite the comment from that awkward little soul, I think this outfit is darling! I love the balance of florals and stripes, and the little ruffled top peeking out. And the finish of red shoes is so fun!!! ~Sarah
