Thursday Trend: Jailhouse Stripes

02/28/13 | Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Moschino, Thursday Trend

Jailhouse stripes are back (but did they really every leave?) and Spring is coming.  The weather is not agreeing but the groundhog said spring is coming and the runways already showed for fall so spring is REALLY just around the corner. This week I have been dressing for the weather I want instead of the weather that is outside but hopefully soon these too will not be that different!  A few months ago the spring the runways were filled with everything from sixties graphic striped prints to asymmetrical futuristic looks. Lucky thing about that is I LOVE stripes.  And black.  And white. (I posted about it here).  These are a few looks that I used for inspiration:

Spring 2013 Trends : Stripes and Emerald Green, Spring 2013 Trends Black and white stripes, Spring 2013 Colors Trend ,

This look can be over powering though if done wrong, there is a reason they dress prisoners in this combination! I have created four looks, two for day and two for evening where the key piece is jailbreak inspired, I hope you enjoy this jacket, sweater, skirt, and dress – fun black & white & striped all over updates for you this spring!

DAY TIME JAILBREAK

Featuring:  Moschino Cheap and Chic Biker Jacket and Elizabeth Charles Stripe Sweater  
NIGHTTIME JAILBREAK

Featuring:  Black and White Scallop Skirt and H&M Stripe Bodycon Dress

What do you think of these looks?
Would you wear a statement piece inspired by this trend?

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

By the way, this was a spur of the moment decision, literally within 30 seconds of reading Claire’s post yesterday about her 6 week beauty ban I decided I was going to do the same thing. This is what she had to say about it “I am official banning myself from buying any beauty products for the next 6 weeks. It’s probably going to be quite hard as companies are always coming out with new products ….  but I have a lot of products that I want to use and enjoy.” I am going to follow the exact same rules as Clare – The Beauty Buying Ban consists of refraining from buying: make up, skincare, hair care, body products and any unnecessary beauty related products! However, while she is saving up for a car I have decided I am going to do a drastic cut and color change and I want to do it right so that is what I am saving for, eek, wish me luck!

    Yikes good luck with that ban! I love stripes too, though a little funny on the whole black and white, it can go south real quick if you don’t style it correctly!
