Thank you J Crew for making it National Stripes Day!
So glad to know so many others appreciate this beloved wardrobe staple!To celebrate the dayI've gone back through my wardrobe archivesto pull some of my all time favorite stripe looks!
I love stripes no matter the season!The key for transitioning a bold stripe with warmer piecesmake sure the stripe is of a heavier weightto balance the weightier textures.
Stripes, brocade, leopard and faux fur can actually play beautifully together!
I often mix in a stripe as a graphic neutralfor an added pop of color play.
Nothing like a classic Bretonto style a whole look around!
I always enjoy some 'good ole' nautical stripe interplay!
Stripe with white out always worksfor quick styling!
A knit stripe maxi makes for a perfect beach picnic ensemble!
Some maximum stripe interplaywith three bold stripe pieces!
Sometimes just a whisper of a stripe works too!
And sometimes bold is best!
Pearls and stripes always two of my favorites!!
I even love mixing horizontal and vertical stripes!
With as big of stripe love as I havemy collection felt like it was bursting at the seams!
I had pulled several pieces out of my closetbut couldn't quite pass them oneven though the pieces just didn't make me excited as they were.
Then it came to me!Why don't I just take the three pieces of barely worn stripesand turn them into a fabulous new piece!
And that's exactly what I did!
I made my new favorite stripe tunicwith the dramatic sleeves I had been searching for!
My very own ode to my big love of stripes!!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joy as you style your life
