It’s officially February and you know what that means, don’t you? Spring is almost here! The birds will be singing, the skies will be blue…and stripes will be everywhere! To me, stripes are the quintessential spring fashion look. It’s clean, crisp and just feels fresh overall, you know? It’s almost like that feeling of sloughing off all that yucky winter snow and making your debut after a long, long hibernation — or maybe that’s just me. Either way, I thought we’d get in the spirit of renewal and rejuvenation a bit early this year with a Style Guide to — you guessed it! — stripes, stripes, stripes! Hope you enjoy this one, friends…

I love wearing stripes! I know there’s the old rule to not wear horizontal stripes but I totally ignore it. In fact I’m wearing a really cute horizontal striped shirt today!

First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Appreciate it.
