Stripes Forevermore!

By Melinda

My item of the week isn’t an item exactly, more like a look.  Nautical stripes have signaled the coming of spring for decades.  Think Audrey Hepburn in a boat-neck, stripe, 3/4 sleeve tee.  And sadly, I don’t have many nautical stripe things.  So, doing this post was a real treat.

The first item is a beautiful scarf.  The navy and yellow (the one I want) would be beautiful with a navy pea coat (which I don’t have), and jeans tucked into black boots.  Love it!  Or pick the light blue and grey.  This would go with black, brown, grey, and navy.  And technically, these are varsity stripes but we’ll just include them in the total stripe look!

Another really cute stripe piece is this cardigan.  I love that it is red and not the usual black or navy.  Wear this on warmer days with a black or navy tee or tank underneath.  Do a boyfriend khaki and Keds to really go all the way with this nautical look.  Looooove this too!  Sorry for the teeny tiny picture!  Squint.

The last item is this cute button up stripe skirt.   You could easily pair this with navy on the top and brown riding boots to make it cool weather spring appropriate.  Tights or no.

If you have a spring stripe or nautical look you wear I’d love to hear about it.  It is a continual spring trend so investing in it with a nice sweater or scarf  shouldn’t be something you would regret.  Call if I can help in any way.

Get out and enjoy this beautiful, rare Nashville snow!
