The third Monday in February. Presidents' Day. Stars and Stripes.
Not only are stripes represented in the American flag, they are everywhere you turn these days! Bold and thin, multi colored and two tone, allover and small accents.
There are various accessory avenues both men and women can take to feel like a star in their stripes. For example, while at church yesterday, I was momentarily distracted by a gentleman sitting a few pews ahead of me. He was traditionally dressed in a neutral blazer and khakis, but wearing bright kelly green and white striped socks! Maybe they were the only clean pair he had, but I prefer to believe that he was making a playful fashion statement :)
If the ladies are not compelled to go the sock route, they can look to other stripe accessories, such as shoes and purses. Look at the fashionista captured in the above image. Her stripe Kate Spade Karolina heels and bag are... expensive! Noted. But what a classic and clever angle to subtly bring stripes into a wardrobe.
Here's to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and the freedom of expression... i.e. personal style!
