Stripes Upon Stripes

Fashion editors keep on drumming into us that it’s a great idea to mix your prints. I have seen very few women brave enough to do this over the years. BUT how much easier is it to do this with stripes? The pattern only goes in one direction! One striped garment is an excellent thing, but how much nicer are stripes upon stripes? Don’t stop at clothing, wear striped accessories too.

Fat stripes and pin stripes, all stripes are good. Stripes make you smile. Stripes make you happy on a dreary morning. When in doubt: wear a stripe. No humbug this.

Why stop at striped clothes? Here we have a striped vintage 50s hat, striped Venetian glass earrings, and a striped windmill brooch. There are never too many stripes.
