experimenting with extremes. stripes.

put stripes on something and it's likely to catch my attention.
my love for stripes goes beyond clothing, though.
i love muscle cars and big trucks.
throw on some racing stripes and it'll bring me just as much excitement as finding a pair of gucci shoes...
on sale...
in my size...
with an additional 75% off...
and a free gift with purchase.
now, rev that engine and it's sure to make me go gaga.

    Awesome- stripes upon stripes! I'm a huge stripe fan myself, but I've never paired them before. I used to have these denim and tan striped pants, they were awesome... but the bottoms frayed away and I had to part with them...

    Loving these double stripes. The pants are very cool and that necklace totally pops. Love the last pic and how it shows your very tall heels.

    This looks SO GOOD! I love that striped top. It's so parisian chic! The jeans with the multiple button on the pockets is an added surprise. I wish my dany platforms would arrive from the US. It's been stuck on sea and I've been drooling over yours in every outfit post. Thank you for the birthday greetings :) Have a great weekend!

    The side buttons on those pants are very quirky. I like the mix of horizontal and vertical stripes.

    Don't tease me with pictures of Eleanor. That's just cruel.
    I happen to ADORE stripes. I think that stripes show such confidence and personality.

    Another car lover? I have to admit I'm a sucker for old muscle cars. My favourite has got to be the Corvette Stingray from the 70's. I spend half the time watching Dazed and Confused drooling over all the awesome cars and trucks hah.

    Speaking of cars... Do you keep a spare pair of shoes for driving? Do you drive in heels like these? CAN you drive in heels like these? Hah.

    Mixing stripes is not a easy thing to do. You did it very well. It does not look cartoonish or crazy. I like it.

    Maybe we can follow each other?
