Types of stripes

I love stripes, and I think it is safe to say that you do too. I’m guilty of wearing out my Uniqlo striped jumper a little too thin, so I’ve been on the look out for a replacement. But you know how it is with online shopping, you get distracted and you find something even better… than just stripes.

First we have the ubiquitous navy stripes, but against grey and in this sweater Sundry dress! I thought I was sold. Then came along this sweet number from Free People overlaid with lace applique. But then Charlotte Ronson of course overthrew that with a myriad of textures in a single, short dress – lamé, tweed and lace. It kinda got out of hand when next Pencey merged the stripes into chevrons, with mad, all-over geometric prints and split seams. Does that even qualify for the stripes I started out looking for? I’m torn over the last two. We have a problem here.
