Stripe on Stripe - The Spirited Thrifter

Yesterday I wore floral on floral and today I wore stripe on stripe, only this time it was a layering striped tank with a striped cowl tee. Totally different.

Thrifted striped cowl tee gift from my sis

I love the stripey awesomeness of this shirt but the cowl is … er… significant, so it limits the styles per cost options. However, since it was a gift that’s a moo point.

At the playground.

On the prairies.

Sigh.

I wasn’t really sure how to style this top, or if the cowl collar was “in” but as soon as I paired it with a complimentary tank, I felt comfortable. IRL I felt the cowl added bulk to my already-ample bosom (that makes me sound matronly but I don’t know how else to say ‘big boobs’), though in pics it looks fine. This would be an awesome top for nursing – nicely camouflaging but easy access.

Bold stripes or patterns make me want clean simple accessories, so I selected the same earrings and bangle I wore while being a very important interviewer.

And here I am being a very important swing pusher.

At the very least, this ensemble illustrates that you can be a mom at the park without wearing yoga pants. Just in case you didn’t know. You’re welcome.
