Wanted: Perfect Stripes

Stripes

Today’s little wish list was inspired by a reader email – she asked for my opinion about the perfect striped tee. Not too tight or stretchy, but long and drapey. It’s something I feel very passionately about but also something that is hard to find! I told her to scoop up this one {my favorite; I wore it in this post} but it set me off on a deeper search for perfect stripes. And I found quite a few things I wanted, not surprisingly.

From top left: Iris & Ink Top {a contender for the perfect tee – looks perfectly drapey} // Clare Vivier Pouch {25% off with code INTHEFAMILY14} // J.Crew Mini Skirt // Chinti & Parker Dress {55% off} // Band of Outsiders Sweater {60% off} // Sophie Hulme Crossbody {25% off with code INTHEFAMILY14} // Mason by Michelle Mason Dress  {65% off}// Soludos Espadrilles {25% off with code INTHEFAMILY14} // J.Crew Tunic {looks super cute on the model} // Madewell Tote {25% off with code INTHEFAMILY14} // J.Crew Dress // A.L.C. T-Shirt {25% off with code INTHEFAMILY14}

And don’t forget about Shopbop’s big event – 25% off everything, with code INTHEFAMILY14.

    I have that striped Clare Vivier clutch and it literally goes with EVERYTHING! It also gets at least 2 compliments every time I bust it out. Well worth the price, especially with the 25% off ShopBop discount! XO

    H&M has an almost identical stripe-less version of the cross body bag! It’s only $29 and comes in a pale gray with gold accents. So cute!

    I have so many striped tees it’s hard to say what the perfect one is…I love my slouchy ones as much as I like the more fitted boat neck version. You can never go wrong with stripes! 🙂
