Some stripey inspiration, for the first Thrift Exchange challenge. I had a lot of these images already saved on my computer and, needless to say, when it comes to stripes I’m all about channeling my inner sailor. The classic combination of navy, white, and red is all that I really need. But then, for a bit of fun, I decided to think outside the navy and white striped box and, taking inspiration from the SS2011 runways, go crazy with colour:
I’m sorry if the amount of stripes in this post is a bit seizure inducing. I think I’ve reached my stripes quota for the day (or week or month or year, even).

Love the idea can't wait too see the rest of these posts x
i am sort of infatuated with all things striped!
Oh I tend to lean towards nautical themed stripes as well. But stripes in pastel look adorable!
Oh, these are so fun! I love the pastels; that dress with the tan/white/yellow/blue/pink/green is just amazing. xxxx
don't be sorry, i LOVE all the stripes! 🙂
Strips are so hard to pull of though, sometimes you like crazy fat in them and sometimes you look completely weird

Great inspiration! I love stripes! But I honestly don't think I even have any striped pieces 🙁
I can't take my eyes off those green striped tights. They're hideous in the most wonderful way, if they had a red pair I'd be in. Lovely collage miss! jazzy ♥

stripes, stipes, stripes, every shade of green,pink or blue, i love them all. although the navy classic style is the way to go.
