As of late, I have been going through my closet and making a mental note of things that I need to add to my wardrobe (remember my Resolutions post? More classics, less fads) and things that I need to rid myself of (more of that to come in the future!). So during this process, I couldn't help but notice that many of my tops were striped. I do remember buying a few striped tops back in December (as mentioned in this post) but I guess I have purchased even more since then!
I know the rule of thumb is that vertical stripes make you look taller/longer, while horizontal stripes tend to make you look wider. But honestly, I don't pay too much attention to rules like that - unless it's extreme in some sense. I just buy and wear what I like. I think everyone should dress that way! Here are some of the stripes I wear on top.
I just received this from an online order the other day & I love it!
I love this top - the metallic stripes add just a hint of sparkle!
Another recent purchase...and on sale!
StyleMint also has great striped tees for just $29.99!
I have the Broadway tee in red (which now also comes in a dress style!), but they also have other great striped tees in different colors! Search for - Venice, Fillmore & Lenox!
And I think this dress from Old Navy needs to be added to my closet asap!
Do you wear stripes on top? Do they play a major role in your closet?
*Thank you to everyone who entered in the JewelMint giveaway!
Stay tuned - the winner will be announced soon!

I love all the ideas!! I will try to write about cool stuff like that in the future :D Thanks for great ideas and pictures <3
I do not have too many stripes... I am not really sure what it is but they remind me of the other option of what people wear when they're only other option is orange..in the form of jumpsuits. BUT...I am working on getting past that stigma. I bought a whole striped dress the other...I'm diving into the look.
Love stripes!! Great sweater from J.Crew :)

These are all cool tops. I agree people should def wear what they like and what looks good to them but I do think some rules can help because some people have a hard time figuring it all out on their own.
