Go Design

 I feel in love with this stripe Topshop tank and needed others inspiration on how to wear it! I turned to some of my favorite gals and asked how they'd wear the tank. Their lovely creations are all below. Enjoy and make sure to check out all their blogs as well!

Like Megan, i am a lover of stripes! I chose to pair the striped vest with a skirt and boots for a casual yet stylish (and comfortable!) look -I imagine wearing it on a lovely autumn Saturday. I am an artist who sees beauty in the spaces in-between, and believes that what you are doing matters (very much). I adore all things vintage and colorful, hunting for treasures, sharing a strong cup of coffee with close friends, and wearing scarves.

Hi!  I am Kelley from Kelley Maria.  Lately I have enjoyed creating inspiration outfits full of pieces that I cannot afford.  The beauty behind this is guilt free "shopping" where I can get creative and put together an outfit without having to look at price tags.  I am able to really get creative this way.  Real life shopping for me is much different and more restricted, so I enjoy this creative process of being able to pick out whatever I want.  I was excited when Megan asked me to put together an outfit around the Top Shop stripe shirt - love it!  This outfit is designed for a sunny fall day, where sunglasses are needed and a coat is unnecessary (my favorite kind of day).   I would love for you to stop by my blog and say "hi!"  Thank you, Megan for having me!

I've created a board centered around that great top. I wanted to explore the current attitudes on the runway - raw, natural, gritty. As a result, I decided to create a "city sherpa" concept. I pulled in elements of fur {faux, of course}, pearls, leather, and stone. The unrefined nature of these materials is offset with the use of a pleated maxi skirt to soften the look. My thought was to create a visual of strength and power, while acknowledging feminine lines. I love creating this board - I'm not sure I'll ever be cool enough to pull a look like this, but I hope someone else finds inspiration in it! The color palette is so lovely and perfect for the winter. And darling readers, don't let this scare you! You are BOLD, FRESH, and FIERCE! If you decide to go for a look like this, let me know!

I love this tank from Top Shop - perfect colors for Fall. I like taking everyday or weekend pieces and dressing them up for a day in the office. It makes it super easy to look put together during the day and still stylish for going out at night. Also, I am currently obsessing over Kelly Moore bags, so her beautiful Sapphire Libby bag made an appearance, plus the saturation of the blue is to die for.
