Over the last couple of years when I was really starting to put together a capsule wardrobe, I started to notice a pattern in the items that I was buying. That pattern would be stripes – blue and white stripes to be exact. I was folding laundry the other week and counted just how many articles of clothing have blue and white stripes on them, 17. Seventeen with blue and white stripes and 6 more with other color stripes. My name is Lindsey and I am a sucker for anything with stripes on it.
I have tried to branch out to buy different patterns like polka dots or plaid but I always put those items back and pick up anything striped. It’s like SpongeBob said “The best time to wear a striped sweater, is all the time”
Recently I bought some sweaters that were NOT blue and white and found out that I really look good in other colors! Like pink – who knew?
This sweater caught my eye in Nordstrom and I walked right up to it knowing that I wanted to try it on. It was so soft and kind of had an oversized fit that gives off a slouchy look. I loved the open-dot pattern down the middle of the sweater and on the sleeves. When I got home I instantly began picking out items that would look good with the sweater. I paired it with light wash skinny jeans and what seems to be everyone’s favorite white ankle boots.
