Best striped shirt and jean outfit

Hello friends! I am sharing my best striped shirt and jean outfit and how you can get two different looks from it.

As you know I share outfits that by me sharing my outfits that hopefully it will help women my age and with my fashion issues.

Stripes on short waists

I am short waisted and I am always on the look out for clothing items that will help to elongate my short torso and wide shoulders. Horizontal stripes are usually not very friendly for my body type.

Wearing sorrel boots

Wearing stripes on my lower half like I do in this red and white large striped skirt works for me but normally not on my top half.

There are two keys to wearing this type of shirt.

  1. The fact that the stripes are skinny. Always more flattering don’t you agree?

and

2. Notice the bottom shape of this shirt? It is longer in the front and higher up on the sides. Yeah!! That is perfect for my short waist. It creates the illusion of a longer torso!

Adding a scarf to the striped shirt

Another way of adding length to my short torso is wearing a scarf! By adding the scarf and it not only draws the eye up to my face but also down as I let the tails hang down.

Scarf with striped shirt and jean

All the women in our family wear a lot of scarves in the fall and the winter.

You can see my mom, sister, daughters all in scarves when we went on our girls trip to California in February a couple of years ago.

It kept us warm and added color and texture to our outfits.

Here are 5 more casual outfits with scarves that I put together.

Add red vest to striped shirt jean outfit

To add another layer to this outfit, I threw on my red puffy vest. By keeping the vest open the lines of the zipper also help to add vertical lines to my torso.

red vest with striped shirt and jeans

I have a few outfits where I have layered on a vest for a fun look.

Here is one with my black vest and one with my green vest.

The bright pop of color just makes me happy!

Denim jeans

These are some of my favorite button up distressed jeans. They just have one distressed area on the knee.

If you have followed me on my fashion journey you know that I am not a fan of the huge ripped jeans.

I like just a touch of it 🙂

Winter Snow Boots

These Sorell snow boots are fab! I have had them for a couple of years now and they are super comfortable, warm, comfy and they look so darn cute!

Wearing them with my plaid tartan pants here is also a fun look.

lightly distressed jeans with striped shirt

I wear them on my walks around the snowy lake too!

    Hi, it’s nice to meet you. I have the same build that you do. My niece once asked me why I don’t tuck anything in. I said because I will look like Humpty Dumpty! So yes, elongate the top! I tried to sign up for your emails, but the sign-up said to put in my email. But I had! Can you use it here? littlestbiglee@gmail.com I hope to hear from you sometime. I like your attitude!

      Hi Lee! I totally get that! Tucking in our shirts usually means Humpty Dumpty for sure unless you do a small tuck just in the front.

      I will add you to my email list for sure! Thank you for stopping by!
      Karin 🙂

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
