All designers, all fashionistas, all style icons and all fashion bloggers are loving black and white stripes this Spring. Yes, I love stripes too. I wore my nautical stripes top last year with jeans shorts and this year with my skinny blue pants and Isabel Marant sneakers. However, I was searching for the perfect skinny stripped pants, ever since I saw the Balmain Fashion show. I was sure I would be able to find them for less. I found the best fit and price at H and M. To create my perfect striped outfit, I wore my new sandals by Karen Millen and a lime sweater knitted by nuns. Yes, nuns you read correctly. I bought my jumper in a Convent in Aigina. Which goes to show, I can shop clothes anywhere 🙂 Which is the strangest place you ever shoped a fashionable item?
I was wearing:
Knitted sweater lime yellow from a Convent in Aigina, Greece
Sunglasses Chloe
Pants with black and white stripes from H and M
Minimal ankle striped sandals by Karen Millen
Black leather studded jacket Vintage Lolita Lempicka
Handbag Vintage Tod’s
Submitted to the IFB Project 95- Show us your Stripes
I love stripes in home decor too, stay tuned for my new easy flower DIY for a stripy coffee-table centerpiece.

Thank you Nico 🙂
Looking so stylish and polished! Love the pants but most of all the sandals are to die for, too hot! Kisses dear! xo
Thanks Lilli 🙂
You look lovely dear! 😉
Thank you Isa 🙂
I tend not to like this kind of pants – simply because everybody seems to be wearing them even though they don’t look particulary good in this kind of pants but you pulled this outfit off really well! I love that you gave a very stylish touch with those heels xx
Thank you Iulia… it is funny how everybody wears the same pants but then it is funny how designers from Balnciaga, to Balmain to Marc Jacobs designed the same striped pants… How could I resist?! That is why I bought them from H&M, it is not something worth investing… We will soon get sick of them 🙂
Nina, that sweater is just beautiful <3 I like the detail of the rolled-up sleeves! xoxo

Thank you, I used tiny black pinks to keep it in place.
Nina those are the most amazing pants! It’s difficult to find a good striped pair but those are perfect. You look so stylish in them
