Stripes on the Brain

Warning: There are a lot of pictures.

I have an obsession with stripes. Like, it's one of my all-time favorite patterns. After all, it's a classic for a reason. I've always liked them, but it got worse after I got obsessed with the idea of sailing though I've never actually been on a sailboat...

I love stripes of all kinds. I love:

1. Layered stripes. I love this look. It's classic, preppy, and cute. I love how these two looks are similar, but have a completely different feel because of the pieces used.

2. Bold stripes. These stripes are big, and their even bolder because their paired with other bold pieces. The green pants definitely draw your attention, and the big stripes complement it nicely. Then the other picture is mixing prints (with leopard, another favorite of mine), which always takes confidence.

3. Casual stripes. These outfits look stylish, but effortless. They would be perfect for hanging out during the weekend, no?

4. Cozy stripes. Simple, cute, and cozy can make for some of the best outfits.Also, I accidentally cropped the boots out of the second picture, but they're cute and simple, which I like.

5. French stripes. I'm really just making this up. But the girl in the first picture looks like she could be a chic Parisian girl, ready for a cold winter day. And the sweater in the second picture says, "Bonjour." So clearly these are now French stripes. Just go with it.

6. Simple stripes. Just simple black and white stripes.

7. Colorful stripes. I love both of these dresses, and I'm kind of convinced I need them both. Shame I have no clue where they're from, and probably couldn't afford them anyways.

8. Nautical stripes. Because what list about stripes, would be complete with the nautical theme being mentioned. And really, this is what I love about stripes. And I love both these outfits. The blue stripes give it a nautical feel, but the skirts make it more wearable. And they're adorable. And I love these outfits.

Can you tell I love stripes? I promise this is the narrowed down version, I had way more that I was deciding between...

Sadly I don't know where the last two pictures are really from, since I saved them to my computer ages ago, and uploaded them to Pinterest over a year ago... I've even drawn the first one of the two badly. I kind of love that picture.
