stripes forever and stripes for all!

We were walking to Rosa Mexicano the other day and boy was I in a mood. Nothing was right, everything was wrong, I had just torn my jacket on a bush and Brandon had just seen Stanley Tucci and I hadn't, and it was just not working.

Finding no other alternative, I picked a fight with Brandon (sometimes that happens).

"Brandon," I said in distress, "Brandon, when is the last time you told me you thought I looked nice? I bet you don't even know what I'm wearing right now!"

He rubbed my back sweetly and said in a calm and measured voice,

"If you are wearing a striped shirt right now I will kill myself."

(Dang it.)

So, here we go.

Idaho stripes:


Pregnant stripes:


New mom stripes:


Bonus Hucklystripes!


So.

    And you make stripes look incredible! Keep rocking them, you look great! (And I'm so jealous, wishing I could look that good or find that many cute stripey tops!)

    A) I hate you with that bikini body. B) Your mid-Feburary tweets have sent me on a frantic search for the perfect striped French sailor tee. C) I don't know how people carry on with a Huck either. Everybody should have a Huck.

    Haha! I love all the stripes! I don't like them for me, but on you they are adorably cute. On Huck they are stratostrophicly adorable. Yes, I just created a word. Go with it. ;)

    Hi to the Holbs, as well, assuming he's still alive. (LOL Amy Jo made me chuckle!)

    I love all your stripes! They are totally fab and I am beyond tres jealous of them! My body type does not allow for the wearing of horizontal stripes so you can tell people you are just compensating for me! :)

    Oh I enjoyed this post so much!! I love it... You look amazing in stripes and should keep on wearing them! :) It's definitely more astonishing that you have so many stripe clothing, I wish for some beautiful stripy clothing, but it's hard to find... (well, it's hard to find those that look good on me)...

    I'm crazy about stripes, too. Never have cared if they make me look big or whatever. In fact, I think they flatter me. You've got some great striped pieces :)

    I LOVE all the stripes. I wish that I could pull it off, but alas. I cannot. So I shall leave the stripes of the world to you. Everytime I wear any time of stripe my family humms the Harry Potter Theme song till I change....hmmmmm...correct me if I'm wrong...but does Harry actually WEAR alot of stripes? I didn't think so....anyway....

    Good Striping.

    You know, when I first got married my Hubs told me that horizontal stripes made me look shorter (and I'm short enough)...so for the longest time I was afraid to wear them. And then I decided it's not about being short or tall, it's about being happy... in STRIPES! Duh.

    Your blog is such a gem. I love how you write like you are talking to a girlfriend.

    Wow, why is this my favorite post? I pretty much can't get enough of stripes. But I mostly find them in my home decor...one time when I was a teenager (prob-ly in seventeen magazine circa 1992) I heard that horizontal stripes make you look wide. You def. prove that theory wrong, but why can't I get that out of my head? When I am done having babies (which will happen in about a month), I am excited to slim down and start wearing stripes!! Did you know you were so inspring?
