{breton stripes} two ways
This week, Liz of 26 and Counting and Linda of The Auspicious Life have opened up their blogger-inspiration-board-like site Everybody, Everywear to the world. They come up with a theme, like “gingham,” for instance, and all participating bloggers upload photos of how they styled gingham to the site and to their respective blogs on the designated day.
Today, we’re wearing Breton stripes! I only have two Breton striped shirts (and that’s using the term loosely), so it was either this turtleneck or my red striped shirt. I couldn’t figure out how to style the red shirt for work with anything I had clean, so I wore my gray striped turtleneck as pictured below:

I decided to really play up the prep factor of the striped turtleneck, so I paired it with my wool blazer, suede skirt, and heeled loafers. This look turned out very old-school-university, I think.
After I got home from work and took my outfit photos, my husband and I decided to go out for a quick dinner and stop by Best Buy afterwards. So I thought, why not show a more casual Breton stripes look as well?

And this is how you wear Breton stripes when it’s freezing out. Or if you’re going to a ski lodge. Also, I’ve had this sweatshirt since my dad bought it for me when I was in high school. Seriously.
