Your Fall 18 Stripes Style Guide
Big Stripe styles are giving my wardrobe life. My style is ever changing but I do like to keep it simple with a pop of *something*. That something right now is STRIPES. My closet has become flooded with them and the new fall 18 big, bold, and soft stripes have a lot to do with it. Weaving #flystyle into my everyday look is something I should put on my resume. Ways to wear? I shall show you the way.
Side note: the thing I love most about stripes is their history. Centuries back, "Stripes had a different interpretation, and it wasn’t a good one. For Medieval Europeans, stripes stood for difference and disorder, and striped clothing was worn by hangmen, non-Christians, clowns, rebels...” Essentially, people wore stripes to mark their status as an outcast. I’m into it. Anyway back to styling...
MIX STRIPES & PRINTS
Seems weird, right? Throw them together — you may be surprised. Below are two of my favorite combos:
Big Stripe Mock Neck, Lux Satellite Tank, Kaleido-go Skirt
Strappy Bra, Big Stripe Tank, Girl Code Spandos
ACCENTUATE WAIST & ADD SOMETHING INTERESTING
I love the high-waisted look and I love anything tied around (you see a lot of it in O styling). I personally like for my bottoms to sit right above my hips and so I tie long sleeves around there as well to help add some shape + a pop of something fun. And again - stripes + patterns, YES! If you love black on black (I feel you), spice it up with textures.
Give me all the blues... Big Stripe Baselayer, Lux Satellite Tank, Kaleido-go Skirt
Big Stripe Baselayer, Kaleido-go Dress
LAYER IT UP
I always get funny looks on set when I do the double knot. I love it, you guys! Such a fun way to layer and add some dimension to any outfit. Give it a try!
Lux Satellite Tank, Big Stripe Tank, Kara Pants
TUCK IT IN
This is my definition of the perfect fall outfit. Mock neck + high waisted crop pants + booties. I will most likely be in a variation of these three styles all fall long. It's my feel good fit!
Big Stripe Mock Neck, Wide Crop Pants from Everlane (because I know you'll ask.)
Stripes on, wings out.

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
