Stripes

I've never met a stripe I didn't like!

What is it about stripes?

The graphic juxtaposition of one color with another in a recurring pattern is mesmerizing and arresting, drawing attention to the person or object that is wearing it or displaying it..

If you want attention, wear stripes.

If you want a focal point, use a striped object, fabric or piece of art.

Famous stripe aficionados are GAP, Jean Paul Gaultier, Mackenzie-Childs, and all preppies everywhere.

I also love to see stripes with floral or dot patterns worn together - cheeky and fun!

Black and white, navy and white, pastels and white - and on and on. Love it all, and can't get enough of it!

If you are afraid of adding volume by wearing horizontal stripes, add an accessory that will still fulfill your desire.  We don't need a commitment here, just a statement of your taste and style.  No big.

Same approach in decor - a little can go a long way - or a LOT  can go a long way - up to you!
