if it’s spring then there are stripes and more stripes! but i just can’t help myself. nothing says preppy style quite like a striped tee. but add a stripe blazer into the mix and i’m a happy camper. this stripe boucle jacket has seen renditions from all my favorite brands over the past two years. j.crew being the first. but i finally decided to break down and add this one from banana republic factory to my collection when we were in charleston. and i’m so glad that i did. what a happy color combination that will be perfect all spring and summer. pop it over a pencil skirt for work or a cute summer dress. or as in today’s ootd a pair of white denim. these cute denim block heels are back in action and i finally broke out one of my favorite handbags that happen to be white.
yup, i’m loving spring and the warmer weather it brings.

Love the shoes and can’t believe they are from Target. I’m going to have to get over there!-Laurel Bledsoe

I love stripes and have at least 3 blazers or jackets with stripes! They are so classic and I love the way you played stripes on stripes. The handbag makes the outfit chic without being too serious. Stripes, checks and polka dots—-I love them.
there’s something so cheerful about stripes, checks, and polka dots! who doesn’t love a monochromatic outfit. but if you want a smile on your face and spring to your step just add a pattern to your ootd. it works every time!

Stripes are always a favorite. I like the mixed colors and the texture-y jacket. Adds interest.
i finally had to pull the trigger, sue, and add a stripe boucle jacket into the mix. and i don’t think i’ll be sorry!

I want to be able to wear clothes just like you when I grow up. Actually I’m way passed your age at 72, but so admire your style, and must admit to covetousness. Loved the stripe inspiration today and those shoes are a must.
ha, ha! i think i wanna look like you when i grow up. but aren’t these block heels darn cute? target strikes again!
xoxo
Well, I didn’t think your hair could get any cuter, but it is! I love the cut! I like how you put outfits together. Combos I wouldn’t have considered.
hi terry! thanks for stopping by. and isn’t this haircut a keeper? i love my stylist. he keeps me at the top of my game.

I admire your style! The red striped shirt ideally suits white-black striped collarless jacket! You look gorgeous! Thanks for inspiration!

thanks for stopping by! there’s nothing better than a stripe, unless it’s paired with another stripe.
