I can't get enough of stripes lately, so I decided to take a look back at some of the ways I've worn these two striped shirts thus far! Top shirt is from H&M, $18 and bottom shirt is c/o MJR Sales, $10. Both are navy and white, as are the shopping options below. Are you a fan of wearing stripes? Which outfit is your favorite?
Tip: if you feel like horizontal stripes make you look wider, try this trick. Layer on a dark colored cardigan and button one or two buttons, creating an hour-glass shape over your top half. This will "cut out" the sides visually, and can actually make you appear thinner.
1. Gap shirt, $22.95
2. Lauren Jeans Co. shirt, $29.993. Dillard's shirt, $19.35
4. Gap shirt, $22.95
5. Lauren Ralph Lauren shirt, $29.99
6. Zappos shirt, $35.99
I love stripes --- they are so classic and can be paired with almost anything. Which you have done a great job of showing!!

I love stripes, they are kind of a trade mark style for me! Favourite outfit is the one with the yellow skirt, I like the spotty skirt look too, but I never wear spots! I really need those nutmeg Old Navy shorts you have !!! Wish we had Old Navy in the UK. nice to see a photo of you in London by the way...it's where I live!
ReplyDeleteI love navy/white stripes. You wouldn't think they'd be so versatile, but they really are!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love stripes! I am so exited to go play around in my closet to try out some of the combinations you came up with!
ReplyDeleteYou have SO many amazing looks with a navy striped tee! Love them :) And now I have tons of inspiration for my navy striped tee!!!!! Happy Friday!

I've never been a fan of wearing stripes because, as you mentioned, I thought they would make me look wider. But I love the looks of these outfits so much that I might need to find myself a striped top and try the cardigan trick you suggested.
ReplyDeleteI love stripes!!! One of my first blogs was about stripes. Yesterday I managed to put both my son and I in striped tops. That was actually quite the coincidence. Love, love, love stripes.

I love the outfit with the dark green vest and white pants. So chic, but also comfy looking. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your flashback Fridays. And I especially love this one. I also have a favorite striped top and you have given me so many ways to wear it.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit you're wearing in front of the Tower Bridge has always been one of my favorites! I might have to try a similar look this fall :)
ReplyDeleteI have that same Navy striped shirt and I always wear it with my bright orange skirt from H&M! I think it looks so good together!
ReplyDeleteJust started following your blog. Love all these great ideas. What are the brown boots you are wearing in two of the bottom photos? Love them!
ReplyDeleteHi, please see my new site. Check out my next before last entry there. If you think it's important, please pass it on.

Love these looks!! The striped top is one of my favorites. Such a classic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mollie, and welcome to the blog! Those boots are from two Christmases ago, 100% leather and I got them for a steal at Bakers of all places!
ReplyDeleteI think that one is my favorite too Kavi! :-)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I like mommy and son matching stripes. Sounds adorable.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how it works out Kim!
ReplyDeleteThank you! All of my Europe posts are archived in my Table of Contents if you want to check out the other outfits I sported in your hometown! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it with the dot skirt!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the pretty pink color on your toes in the white jeans outfit? Love all your ideas & inspirations! :)
ReplyDeleteStripes are my favorite! I love all these great ways you've remixed a classic!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell for sure because the picture is too small, but it should be the same color I've been wearing all summer - brand is Sinful Colors Professional and the color is 24/7. I got it at Target.
ReplyDeleteCan't get enough of striped shirts! Love, love them. You have styled them perfectly! Happy weekend.

I'm new to your blog (obsessed, be the way!) so I may have missed this answer in an earlier post, but I'm dying to know what your purse is in pictures #1,2 and 4. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog! That is the Melie Bianco Angela in saddle. It is not looking so hot after traveling with it for a week. I usually stick to real leather/quality handbags but made an exception and it didn't hold up very well unfortunately!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with stripes, you can pair them with anything. Gap always has the best tops that feel great too. Looking good J.

I have the H &M shirt too and love it! I like it with my mustard cardi, grey skinnies and brown riding boots! Now I need to find a polka dot scarf to play with too! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me where the red skirt is from? Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy orange red skirt is from LOFT! Got it in Feb or March!
ReplyDeleteI only have one navy stripe top, but now I have lots of inspiration! Thanks!

I have seen this shirt at H&M and never actually tried it on. This post has inspired me to GO AND GET IT! I love seeing how many different ways you can wear one single item from your closet. Thanks!

Striped shirts are my fave, and I totally just saved an outfit or two of yours in my inspiration folder. Striped shirts make me feel so chic without so much effort. Love it.

love the blazer/scarf/boots combos. I've been looking for a plain striped top just like this! :)
ReplyDeleteMy fans are the thinner stripe outfits, but am now going to get both types...thin and thicker striped tees. Thanks for the ideas and for the places to find what I want. Now I just need a "sale" or coupon!
ReplyDeleteBpy, I love a good striped shirt. Thanks for the inspiration for what to wear mine with. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! These outfits are so cute. I love how you styled your striped shirts. Love it!

I'm a new follower and loving everything! Wow, that MJR Sales site is overwhelming. How do you find anything there??? I love navy striped tops...I need to stop buying them because they are taking over my closet!
ReplyDeleteThank you and welcome to the blog! Check out my post on how to navigate the MJR Sales website and let me know if you have any questions: http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2011/03/todays-everyday-fashion-my-new.html
ReplyDeleteI paid full price for the black and white Ralph Lauren shirt, just in case they didn't have my size later. I have been waiting for a boatneck.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember where you got those mustard colored low heels/flats?
ReplyDeleteWow......wearing a striped shirt today too (mine is black & grey). I love the way stripes can be mixed with other prints as well. I'm wearing mine today with a long black vest, jeans, black boots. When I head outside I'll be adding a black/beige/gold paisley scarf & olive military jacket. Thanks so much for your continued inspiration!
