Stripes!!!

Maybe it's the Fourth being in the near-past or maybe it's the nautical obsession I've undertaken lately, but I'm loving stripes.  I also love when blogs focus on a pattern, color, style, you get the idea, and then have a modge podge of images including that topic.  So here are my two loves for the week: Stripes and a million and a half images of them!

Stripes can either make a room appear larger or smaller.  They can make you look fatter or thinner depending on whether they're horizontal or vertical.  They can add excitement to a room by being a visual interest.  Stripes are awesome, what else can I say?

I have a black and white striped, short-sleeve shirt, with two nautical style buttons on each shoulder.  It's my favorite shirt.

  Do you have anything that you love that is striped?
