seeing stripes

Some stripey inspiration, for the first Thrift Exchange challenge. I had a lot of these images already saved on my computer and, needless to say, when it comes to stripes I’m all about channeling my inner sailor. The classic combination of navy, white, and red is all that I really need. But then, for a bit of fun, I decided to think outside the navy and white striped box and, taking inspiration from the SS2011 runways, go crazy with colour:
I’m sorry if the amount of stripes in this post is a bit seizure inducing. I think I’ve reached my stripes quota for the day (or week or month or year, even).

    Oh I tend to lean towards nautical themed stripes as well. But stripes in pastel look adorable!

    Oh, these are so fun! I love the pastels; that dress with the tan/white/yellow/blue/pink/green is just amazing. xxxx

    Strips are so hard to pull of though, sometimes you like crazy fat in them and sometimes you look completely weird

    I always think of stripes being navy and white too to go with the whole nautical theme, but i do always like colourful things,may have to consider going "crazy with colour" 😀 nice post

    You can never go wrong with stripes.

    Today i saw a small child wearing the coolest outfit… navy and white stripped skirt, with a red and white pock-a-dot shirt, stripy bowes in her braided hair and white frilly socks.

    Amazingg.

    I can't take my eyes off those green striped tights. They're hideous in the most wonderful way, if they had a red pair I'd be in. Lovely collage miss! jazzy ♥
