Styled By Sharlene: Summer Stripes

Hello everybody! Hope this summer heat has been good to ya so far! Today's #ootd includes one of my all-time favorite striped wide-leg jumpsuit (and it's right under $25 too! #whatasteal!). In my opinion, striped clothes are always great staple pieces to keep in your closet especially during the summer. Stripes, when paired with the right colors, can naturally give a nautical/boating vibe. Originally, I saw a similar jumpsuit on Kendall Jenner and absolutely fell in love with the style, but definitely not the price tag. I started looking for similar pieces online and what do you know, Forever 21 had a "dupe" for almost 1/10th of the price and I've been wearing it on repeat ever since! Some of you readers may think, "well the color of the jumpsuit will attract so much heat from the sun", which could be true, but this jumpsuit was definitely made for the summer because the material is consisted of a light/airy rayon fabric and the wide-leg pants really help keep the ventilation going! Also, the white vertical striped pattern can help enhance the appearance of a longer body. Lastly, to finish off the boating look, I've added a straw boater hat and a pair of mules for a casual and comfortable day out! Hope you enjoy this #ootd and thank you always for stopping by! ^_^
