NATIONAL STRIPES DAY

When jcrew announced they had made up a holiday known as ‘National Stripes Day’ it just sounded like too much fun not to join in on the celebration. After all, who doesn’t have a stripe or two (or three or . . . ) sitting around their closets?

We hadn’t planned on celebrating in the rain but mother nature decided she wanted to join in as well. And what a perfect day to bring out our striped umbrella which fit right in with our holiday.

Is it just me or is there something about stripes that bring out playfulness and energy and joy?

There’s one thing for sure, the possibilities for wearing stripes is endless.  Striped pants, dresses, skirts, blazers, blouses, knit shirts, shoes, and even swimwear, all in a variety of splendid colors.

Today we staying with striped pants and  knit shirts and a trusty umbrella all in the traditional blue and white.

So . . . are you celebrating National Stripes Day?

    This is adorable Trina! I love the children’s little outfits, look at those striped pants! Your top is so pretty with the fluttery sleeves and I loved that you mixed polka dots with the gingham and stripes! I just bought a striped dress I hope to wear on the blog soon as I dont have many stripes in my closet but love that this top is unique and has added flair!
    have a great weekend!

      Thank you and thank you! I kind of adore these two little ones. I actually tried to talk Tori into stepping in instead of myself but the silly girl wouldn’t have any part of it.
