Hello! I'm Samantha, from SS Vintage, and I am currently crushing on Stripes! Fat, Thin, Black, White, Bright Colors, I love them all!

Stripes by SSVintage featuring stripe shoes

Stripes are timeless, and can go with just about everything! This season we are seeing them everywhere from Tops and Jackets, to Shoes and Hats, and everything in between. Stripes for Men and Women, in every color and size.

Here's some great orange stripes from the Marc Jacobs Runway-

You can spot celebrities all over rocking this trend!

Blossoms All Around

Dress and cardigan: Old Navy

Necklace: Forever 21

Watch and sandals: Target

I had to take an outfit picture next to this tree. It's so beautiful when it blossoms in the spring with is pink flowers. Sometimes I just feel like taking some and putting them in my hair. 

This dress was also a recent rediscovery in my closet. I might have the Mary Poppins of closets because I'm finding stuff that I didn't remember I had. I also noticed something else as I was going through my closet. A lack of black. It's not that I don't like the color, but I like colors and prints more. It's a rarity to see me in head to toe black.

Another pattern I saw a lot of while organizing my closet was stripes. I really like, wait take that back. I really love stripes. But just your basic stripe. Either white/cream with another color or a tonal stripe. No crazy three or four color stripes. It's the nautical/French feel that I like when I wear them. In fact I have a whole drawer filled with stripe shirts. 

 I am a stripeaholic :P

I have never met a navy and white striped shirt that I didn't like.

I'll have to do a future post on some of my favorite striped items. 

Do you have any colors or patterns that you always have to get?
