===horizontal stripes===

my mother has always said that horizontal stripes are a no in the clothing department. you just don't wear them. they make you look chubbier/wider than you really are. and who wants that?

usually i take mother's advice especially since according to the movie Tangled "Mother KNOWS Best" ,right? well recently i've ignored my mother's advice and have purchased horizontal stripes a lot.
this high waisted skirt from White House Black Market, a couple shirts, and some shirts for matson.

i like horizontal stripes now.
especially my new items i was talking about above, that i purchased in Vegas this last weekend.
But...yes there is a but i have come to find that my mother's advice can be true.
KEYWORD: can.
you just gotta pair the horizontally striped clothing item with the right thing.
plus, the thinner the stripes the better.
at least that's my opinion.
