I love stripes.  But mainly when it’s just white and one other alternating color.  These are what I warmly refer to as “simple stripes”.  🙂

Stripes are timeless. 

They can be vintage.

.

…or modern.

.

They have that feeling that puts you right at home.

.

They can be casual.

.

Or sophisticated too.

I love these cork wedges by Tom’s.  I picture them with a cute little white summer dress.

Neutral cardigan from Anthropologie…

Rug with a nautical feel.

Striped Placemats from Horchow.

 

Chambray Striped Pillow Covers from West Elm.

And just to think, this satchel from Aldo is what inspired this post.  When I went shopping last week and saw this, I died and went to handbag heaven! Isn’t it adorable??
