Stripe Out
i'm pretty sure the saying goes "three strikes and your out?" well if i applied that to my new love for stripes in my wardrobe then it would definitely be the other teams turn up to bat. recently a family friends' kid asked me why do i always wear stripes? so i took a step back and thought i might need some kind of invention? in my previous post about j.cew spring 2011 i mentioned that i recently jumped ahead of the game and did some spring shopping, but what i left out was that everything i bought was striped. i couldn't help myself. i felt like i was at the dog pound and every striped piece of clothing was looking at me with puppy-dog face, screaming i need a home(i've never been to a dog pound for that sole reason-plus i like the fact that my clothes don't need to be fed or potty trained)
my problem isn't that my stripes all look the same- as a mater of fact i have a wide variety of differnt colors, sizes, and type of clothing in stripes. my problem is i tend to wear them all the same way. so i came to the conclusion that what i needed to do was stray away from wearing them in a preppy manner and instead mix/match them to achieve different looks. so i decided to pair my black thin striped lazy-t with a fun and flirty leopard skirt, and then i slipped on my navy striped pull over with some jeggings and a pair of cowboy boots. now i can still wear my stripes but in a little less subtle and noticeable way. so go ahead and strike stripe it out!
Ok I am glad someone else has an addiction to stripes. I just recently bought a tunic, dress, and sweater that all have stripes on it. Since they are classic and will never go out of style I don't feel as guilty, but still its out of control.
