Stripes + squares

The month of October is coming to an end and I am impatiently counting the weekends until Christmas. The shops and streets are slowly adopting the Christmas feeling, although I think it's still a little early for that… (Secretly, I am already guilty for buying some decorations. Oups…)

To end this month, I wanted to show you this outfit which is all about mixing and matching stripes with squares.

I got these trousers a while back at Zara but I never got around to wearing them. I was missing the correct inspiration and clothing item that would match perfectly.

As the Zara collection is amazing this season, I went for a stroll through their stores and found this sleeveless vest which happens to be the cherry on the cake for my outfit along with this oversized shirt from H&M.

Talking about the sleeveless vests, these happen to be very trendy this season and I am still on the hunt for a camel coloured version. If you spot a nice one somewhere, let me know!

A number of people seem to think that stripes and squares aren't the ideal combination, I, on the contrary, am a huge fan of it. This being said, the best way to wear it is by mixing small squares with big stripes and vice versa.

Now, I'm off to bed as tomorrow morning I need to go to a meeting in relation to the Luxembourg Art Week as I will be working there all of next week.

Good night world!

Stripes

Those rainy days have finally passed, the sun is out and I am starting to get into a real summer holiday mood as in only a few hours I will be flying to Ibiza. The excitement is definitely rising.

I think you noticed that I haven't blogged in a week but that's because I've been busy working and, once I got home, I had no energy left or inspiration to write. However, do stay tuned, as August will be a travel month fort me which means loads of sunshine and outfit pictures which will be on my social media such as Instagram (@arifashionthrea), Facebook (@Arifashionthread), Snapchat (arianeglov) and of course on the blog!

Today it's all about stripes. This basic piece remind me of my childhood when I regularly wore Petit Bateau clothes (I still wear dresses or tops from them now).

How do you like this striped dress? I love it, it's young and fresh with it's popping red stripes and, casual with it's straight cut. Although I am still not convinced that red is my colour.

I matched this dress with my new favourite gladiators, this seasons big "hit"  along with my suede fringe clutch, another season favourite.

Before, I wish you a nice weekend, you may have noticed that the shades of the photos have changed in comparison to the usual ones. The reason is that this afternoon I actually had some time to relax, be a huge couch potato, I decided to play around with the iPhoto editing options and thought this created a nice soft tone to the pictures. I even had the time to finally get my nails done but now it's time for the packing… I know I will be burried in a pile of clothes.

Have a great weekend people!
