It’s Olivia Wilde for you today. She was spotted looking extremely casual while out for lunch in Los Angeles last Saturday.

The Cowboys and Aliens actress wore a long printed tee over a horizontally striped dress and capped off the look with sunnies, a fedora, sneakers, and a fringe bag.
Unfortunately, her shirt was too long, and the stripes on her dress made Olivia look short and short-legged.

So what do you think, ladies? A long shirt and horizontal stripes equal a bad combination, yes? She should have at least worn a shorter top. In addition, a diagonal-striped skirt would have been less unflattering.
That said, we love the laid-back style. It’s a good look to copy as long as you pick the right pieces to wear. You can emulate it with a cropped tee instead of a long one. Also, try going for a striped skirt with thinner, less bold stripes or, even better, diagonal stripes.
