As you might have guessed, I have a bit of a thing for stripes. So when I saw decor8’s Stripe Mania (!) challenge to post a photo of ourselves wearing our stripiest shirts, I knew I couldn’t miss out… even if the idea of taking outfit shots gives me hives. It was hard to pick, because clearly I have a lot of striped shirts. (And I have for quite a long time now!)

(I do appear to have certain… stripey tendencies, when it comes to colors. Also? I really need to get a red and white striped shirt. How do I not have one?)

I decided to go with my favorite stripes right now, yellow and gray.

(the tshirt is from Old Navy, and the gray jeans are from Lands End Canvas)

I really love pairing this with my red circle scarf, even if at 85+ degrees in New Jersey, it was a little hot for it.

And just to prove to Cynthia, who also took me up on the stripes challenge (and totally upped the ante by COMBINING stripes! which I am totally going to do, as soon as I can get my grubby little hands on a striped cardigan!), that I do actually own and wear skinny jeans…

Everything is better in stripes.
