Stripes are simple and classy. They can instantly jazz up a boring solid colored look. You can use stripes to mix with patterns and ad different colors to add a more unique fashion taste to your looks (like the girl in the top photo, I love the colors).

Look One
If I owned those shoes I would want to wear them all the time! I love the aquaish blue color in this look and paired it with gray/silver. The little robot clock necklace is adorable.

Look Two
