June 2012 Lookbook: Stars and Stripes
This look is part of Omiru’s June 2012 Lookbook series, which builds upon our 16-Piece June 2012 Capsule Wardrobe. See more information about this look.
It may not yet be the Fourth of July, but you can find fashion inspiration in the upcoming holiday. The stars and stripes of the American flag just look right together - and you can translate them into a playfully patriotic look. Mix star and stripe patterns with bold colors. Just don’t do red, white, and blue - that’s a little too literal. The resulting look? So fabulous that it’ll bring on the fireworks.
1. Start with a mix of solids and stripes: a bright green tie-neck blouse paired with a skinny striped pencil skirt.
2. Add your stars - in the form of a fitted denim jacket adorned with an allover star print.
3. If you dare to add more pattern, try a tote in a bold reverse polka dot print.
4. Finish off the look with gold ballet flats and brightly colored sunglasses. Psst - the purple in the sunglasses plays off the green beautifully.
