Nautical Express

Hello,

Quick mid-week post and I must say you are seeing the best of the worst pics.  My photographer a.k.a daughter was not in the mood to snap pics and it shows (i.e. glares, bad focusing, etc.).  However, I knew it would be a minute before I could take new pics and didn't want go more than a few days without a new post.  Ok...on to the outfit.  I love stripe shirts.  They exude a classic nautical vibe and look great with jeans as well as a pencil skirt. Lately, I have been finding really cute ones at H&M.  I have had this sleeveless tee for quite some time and have kept it in the wardrobe because, for some reason, I have the hardest time finding "true" red shirts.  They are really one of the hardest items to locate.  I always find variations of the color such as cranberry or a mixture of orange and red but rarely a true red.  Last week, I saw a plain v-neck red tee in Forever 21 and you would've thought that I hit the lottery. Because this shirt that I am wearing is loose and flowy, i decided to keep the bottom half of my outfit lean and fitted to avoid loosing my body and lil' curves. Lol.  Had I worn loose, flowy pants, I would have worn something more fitted and/or structured on top.  Two of my favorite ways to wear stripe shirts are under an army green canvas jacket and with colorful blazers.  What are some of your favorite ways to wear stripes?
