| Yes....I'm here to admit it....after all these years of denying it...I am officially after today's shopping spree.....a "Stripe-a-holic" I'm crazy for the Stripes.... Here is just a small portion of my summer selection... drawers are filled with striped... tanks and tees.... in every color...every size.... |
 |
| I can't recall when it began.... My first was Probably the coveted "French Sailors Shirt" bought in Paris at the Bon Marche' back in the summer of 99' It's been an obsession ever since.... |
 |
| I can not walk past a department store rack without being drawn to it as if Tom Selleck was hanging naked from the display.... Got this gem today at the Loft 60% off... |
 |
| LLBean is a favorite haunt...I can feed my addiction from the comfort of my own computer....these tend to develop holes after a while....don't know why... But I still buy them.....each season... Red of course being my "signature color" |
 |
| I even found striped going in two different directions.... that was exciting!! |
 |
| Of course you can't say stripes without mentioning "Ralph Lauren" Orange comes in second as my favorite color for apparel.... |
 |
| I wear this Ralph all year long... it has fancy gold thread stripes... very nautical indeed...with those little thingies on the shoulders... |
 |
| with my new found weight loss I picked up this little number at TJM....spandex....holds in the Fat that is left!! I buy all my summer tees and tanks at where else.....WalMart.... so cheap that they get replaced every summer... |
 |
| Calvin Klein is also a fan of stripes... This is actually a dress...I'm short it fits to the knee.... |
 |
| strapless dress or skirt.... works as both... |
 |
| purchased this year at the Armor lux shop in Paris.. this is the brand that started the obsession.. When in Paris this shop is a must |
 |
| gotta have one in cashmere.... the ultimate stripe... I even wear these in the summer... perfect for movie going when the Air conditioning is cranked up... This was a gift from daughter... She knows I love my stripes... |
 |
| the "original French Sailors" shirt.... Saint James brand....it's a bit thinner then.... |
 |
| my favorite the Armor-lux..... |
 |
| I had my choice of colors at the store this year and of course I came away with both in blue and white and white and blue.... I'm an idiot what can I say.... I did buy a cute yellow and white hat.... which I failed to photograph for this post... |
 |
| found this cute number while shopping with the Blog Gals one day at a shop here in Marietta called Versona.... great stuff and great prices.... this is fully lined and was a mere $24.99 |
 |
| Today's purchase at the Loft.... Joyce and Me had a wonderful lunch and then we went shopping in Vinings.... a little village outside of Atlanta... We actually behaved ourselves... both at lunch at Canoe....and while shopping....we must be getting older |
 |
| I was so happy when I tried on a Large... down from my usual XL....when Joyce said it was too big....Hooray!! I was able to get a Medium.... |
 |
| And the price....well take a big 60% off that ticket price!! |
 |
| Had to buy the coat too..... Come on it came out to be around $30. with the 60% off the markdown price....You know ladies you just can't pass up a bargain like that... |
 |
| I bought 3 items and saved an extra $100. Joyce made me do it... |
|
| I have to say this must be in the Family Genes.....Because.... |
 |
| Miss B.....gotta love her....made this person in her Kindergarten Class..... I was so proud to see she dressed it in "STRIPES"..... because the poor child probably thinks Grandma is either crazy or I have a striped Body Tattoo.... That's all she ever sees me in...
