With 4th of July behind us (by just a day), I have stripes on my mind and I can't stop thinking about them.  They are everywhere and I love it.  I remember when my fashion sense was lacking a bit in the junior high days, I use to tell myself that as long as I was wearing stripes I would look good.  My closet was filled with stripes in all different colors.  And, I have to be honest, while it might not have been a good idea to limit myself to stripes, I did do it tastefully.  I never looked like a clown and mix and matched my stripes with polka dots or anything like that, but I definitely had a "stripe overload".  For long after that, I wasn't able to buy anything stripes.  I mean, I am talking years of being stripe free.  But, that was long, long ago.

Now, I can't get away from them.  I don't know what it is about the pattern of a stripe, but I like the way they look.  You see them on dresses, shirts, leggings, pants, anything, and everything.  They aren't just nautical, you can also see them in soft and sweet colors, adding more femininity.  Maybe that's it.  It is a geometric shape that adds a bit of "hard" without losing your feminine side?  Whatever it is, I think we all need to find our stripe for the season and enjoy!  (Whatever you do, please don't add stars to your stripes, like I said 4th of July as past).
