Fatshion Faceoff - Striped Skirt

This week myself and my 5 other Fatshion Faceoff ladies were challenged by the lovely Molly to style a stripped skirt, I was all set with a stripped Maxi skirt but it was no good as it was all out of shape, so I improvised.

I am wearing a dress as a skirt and as it is so rainy and chilly here today I used a plain black roll neck top to make it into a skirt.

Now the only thing is that this skirt is not stripped in the conventional sense of the word, but it is a floral stripe, but I am not often conventional so this is probably ok.

So here is my interpretation of the stripped skirt

Excuse the closed eyes :) 

Ready for my trip food shopping, I lead an exiting life!

It is such a pretty dress, I will have to blog it on its own so you can see the pretty feature at the back. 
The colours are so pretty and I love the block of blue at the bottom of the skirt.

So how do you were your stripes?

Go check out the other gorgeous ladies for some inspiration.
