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.

Now Wearing:
- Sonoma navy/white cotton stretch knit tank, thrifted (Thrift Town)
- Vintage floral broach, thrifted
- Oshgosh embellished over-alls, the Citizen Rosebud
- Lancome striped bag, thrifted (Thrift Town)
- Mossimo Supply Co navy/white espidrilles, Target
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!!

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've got about 5 pair laying around here, some cuter than others. You gotta shop it year round, right?
ReplyDeleteAll 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.
ReplyDeleteI marvel at clever kids like yourself that can make red, white and blue so chic. That trim is a genius update.
ReplyDeletethanks, peeps!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYour such a beauty :)
ReplyDeletelovely!
