Hello beauties!👋🏾
It’s Friday and I’m LIT🤪 like a Christmas tree!🎄. I realize I was gone a little longer than I promised, but I have some HUGE news to share with you and it’s all about how you’ll interact with le blog from now on! But first, lemme give you the scoop on why you don’t just need to wear red and green to keep it merry this holiday season. Keep scrolling to fa-la-la fall in love with a new warmer weather winter staple: the multicolor stripe shift dress. 👇🏾
Here’s the thing about celebrating the holidays in Texas: the weather is not worried about you and will act up accordingly. I’ve lived through so many 70º and up Christmases that tbh, I’ve lost count. 🤷🏾♀️ While a White Christmas isn’t exactly something to expect when you live in the South, there’s plenty of time to slip on something a lil light.😏 This dress from Booohoo is the perfect addition to your closet if you want a break from pants when the cold front breaks.
THE DEETS: Tonal Stripe Shift Dress - Boohoo; Stan Smith Sneakers - Adidas Originals; Round Metal Glasses - Ray-Ban

While you plot on how you’ll style this multicolor cutie, I’ve got some pro-tips to share with you whenever you’re stuntin’ in some stripes.
PAIGE’S PRO-TIPS: STRIPE OUT
1. Horizontal ain’t hot.🙅🏾♀️ I’m gonna skip the long talk and come right out with it–– horizontal stripes ain’t it chief. Whenever you wear stripes, opt for vertical ones for several reasons. Vertical stripes elongate your figure and also have a slimming effect to the eye. To avoid looking wider than you are, skip the sideways stripes.
2. Accessorize Wisely.🧠 This one goes without saying, but you never want to be caught slipping looking too busy with clashing accompaniments to your look. When wearing something v bold, try pairing with more monotoned or minimal accessories.
3. Stunt Shamelessly. 🌈At the very core of the pattern, stripes are a way to disrupt our eyes from what they would normally look at and gloss over. When you slip on something stripey, don’t be afraid to rock it like Rihanna would. Which means, f*ck it up, sis!
