I can’t seem to get enough of stripes lately! I love the preppy, nautical feel of them. I wore this for a night out with friends during the holiday weekend. While the more stripes the better, I try to stick to more subtle, neutral colors like in this top (black and taupe). Too many stripes in bright colors starts to look busy. I also avoid horizontal stripes on bottom. They make me look wider, a thing I can definitely do without. Despite a few nos, stripes are a definite yes in my book!

Love the necklace, bag and heels! Jen xoxo http://mystylisticlife.wordpress.com
Thanks Jen!
Very nice outfit…you do stripes very well!
Thanks for stopping by and the sweet comment!
Really great idea with the skirt and cardigan, I always think of stripes as a summery look but this goes together really well!
