"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel

So lately a current obsession of mine has been stripes, when I walk into any shop lately I am naturally just drawn to anything that has stripes. Over the past month and a bit I picked up these three pieces that I am absolutely loving and adoring.

Striped Tube Dress - Myer Miss Shop - $30.00 (AU)
This dress I wore to two of my friends 18th, with a natural face and eye look and a bright red lip. I really love the way this dress hugs your figure at the chest and hips area. It has think black stripes, which don't really show up that well in photos, but I think looks super cute in real life and could easily be dressed up or worn more casually. As it was a backyard party that I wore it to, I paired it with plain black thongs (flip flops), but here the model has worn it with black booties, so I guess you could pair it with anything.

Striped Crop Top - Jay Jays - $15.00 (AU)
The second piece I have picked up recently is this navy and white striped top. I usually wear this top with blue denim shorts, black shorts or blue/black jeans. When I went to the counter at Jay Jays the woman serving me said I could grab another top so it was basically buy one get one free, so I grabbed a plain grey skirt of the same style. I try to wear this shirt for casual occasions as I don't really think it's that dressy and I really love the style. I got a Medium instead of a small so it would sit like it does on the model, barely showing any skin so it's not really what I call a crop top. The material is also really soft and wearable so I was really happy with these purchases!

Striped Crop Top 'Pocket Tee'  - Sportsgirl -  $24.95 (AU)
