I love stripes. Year 'round; all day long. I'm all about stripes. When I'm not waxing and waning about the polka dot, the gingham and the plaid, I'm probably rocking a line or two or three. Although I don't usually go in for stripal overkill (& yes, I'm aware I just made that word up: stripal) since I bought my striped navy/white espadrilles from Target last week-end, I've been chomping at the bit to wear them. Also chomping is my love of my vintage Oshgosh b'gosh shorts over-alls embellished with trim from a vintage Hawaiian muu-muu (shown in the background.) I've been struggling to find the right top to wear underneath, and Friday when I picked up this cotton striped tank from Thrift Town for a buck-fifty, I figured it was time to paint the town RED WHITE & BLUE, in stripes.

You look excellently patriotic! Stripes are really the perfect pattern. They will never, ever go out of style. I feel the same way you do about them, that when gingham and polka dots aren't doing it for me, stripes always will. Ps-sweet espadrilles!!

I love the embellishments you added to the overalls. Very fun! And you paired it well together. You can never go overboard with stripes, in my opinion.

me too! stripes always add a nice graphic element no? Love the pop of color on you~
I was just today looking through the short-alls at the thrift store hoping to finally find the perfect ones, but no such luck. Yours are super cute!
Thanks. I've got about 5 pair laying around here, some cuter than others. You gotta shop it year round, right?
All hail the stripes! It's good to know other people are crazy about them too. I think that, even though there are so many stripes, it's not overkill. They mostly seem consistent in size so it's not as terribly distracting. I really love your shoes.
I marvel at clever kids like yourself that can make red, white and blue so chic. That trim is a genius update.
thanks, peeps!
Love it!
Your such a beauty :)
lovely!
Cheers, Jesa
