Showing your Stripes

As I bid adieu to my old (albeit very young) blog, I soothe myself with a look at my stack of striped tops. There, there, my pretties. Momma still loves stripes. Don't you worry.
I might as well confess my obsession with stripes in my first blog post. Air out my clean laundry. The beauty of stripes to me lies in their neutrality, their simplicity. A striped top can seamlessly go from dock to restaurant to even pajamas. Contrary to popular lore, stripes also look good whether you're a size 2 or a size 20. So show your stripes!
