Show Your Stripes!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

This week, I am wearing two outfits featuring bold striped patterns 

Stripes of all types (rhyming!) are trending this season-no surprise here

Although they are always big for spring and summer-especially those with white in them

 I am a big fan of stripes and wear them year round,

whether trending or not-how about you?

They are such a classic pattern

There is practically an infinite variety of colors and widths stripes,

 and they all look so different

They are a wardrobe workhorse pattern for me, for sure!

My first outfit features a black, white and grey striped skirt in an unusual wrap style

Worn with a white denim jacket and a magenta top underneath for a pop of color

Carrying a bright magenta bag for another matchy bit of color

Simple, casual jewelry to accessorize this outfit 

A 1950's vintage expandable bracelet in purple plastic 

and chunky textured silver tone hoop earrings

Black band strap sandals to finish the outfit

Another stripy summertime outfit,

this one with wide horizontal navy blue and white stripes on the top

Worn with a Kelly green linen blend button front midi skirt

Kelly and navy are a classic color combination

and like this outfit, frequently translate into a nautical look 

There are so many great green pieces to chose from in the shops now

since the color is trending big!

Carrying my 1960's vintage white wicker bag

with the see through front panel and psychedelic print lining!

For jewelry, I chose a few key silver tone pieces 

that work so well in the summertime

A star, or starfish necklace, a link design cuff bracelet,

and large, shiny hoop earrings 

One of my favorite pairs of summer shoes seemed the perfect matchy

bookend for this outfit-navy and white striped lace up espadrilles!

Stripes all over!

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
