Maybe the inspiration for your Nettie? Picture link |
Stripey stripes... Oh I love them and hate them (because of the idea deep into my conscious that stripes make you look fat - and well at the moment, this is the last thing I want to do!). I have ventured in wearing stripes recently - but not that much. However I am attracted by them, no doubt - they are so versatile.

And let's talk about stripes and neon - I do love that idea...

I love that hammock shot and love stripes generally but have just the same reservations as you do (wearing them that is).
ReplyDeleteWOW! So many points of inspiration! I love stripes! They're so classic. I would really like to make a Nettie in a stripe like the body suit in your first photo, but I'm not sure I can wear it as well as she does. :-D
ReplyDeleteI love stripes, even if they aren't the most flattering pattern out there, I can't help myself. I will never stop wearing them!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
Don't buy into that entire "stripes make you look wider" thing. It's not totally true! It depends on the width of the stripes, your proportions, their placement, etc. This article makes that same argument: http://www.bridgetteraes.com/2013/02/28/how-to-wear-stripes/
ReplyDeleteAs a stripe fanatic (you can judge by yourself: http://roxthinks.blogspot.ca/2013/10/today-im-loving-stripes.html ), I say you should indulge in them a little.
I love stripes, even if they don't love me. I especially love Breton jumpers. Mind you, I like spots too
ReplyDeleteI love stripes too!
ReplyDeleteOh myyyyy, suc inviting stripey pictures you have chosen. I am especially fond of the stripes plus neon.
ReplyDeleteI love stripes too! I enjoyed seeing all your stripy pictures. I especially like the cabin and the top with the neon cuffs :)
