The presidential election is slowly creeping close which means one thing: It’s time to take a Trend Hungry Survey. Is your closet filled with A) black and neutrals or B) pouring in prints and stripes?? If you answered A don’t worry, you are not alone! I, along with the majority of fashionistas, have go-to pieces that are hard to stray from. But, we must make a pledge to think outside the box!

Striped pants are a trend that’s commonly avoided because of the fear of looking stubby and wide. Fear no more! Nicki Minaj rocks striped pants with a brightly colored blazer and heels that lengthen her small frame proving that this look can be worn even on a curly gal. Stripes scream sophistication, maturity, and they’re fully functionally for any occasion –  business meeting, open mic night, whatever. Mix the pants with a classic blazer, heels and a fun vintage tee and give your wardrobe a voice of it’s own.
