Old Navy - Stripes Aplenty
Posted: 7/6/07I don’t know if it is the fact that we just celebrated the Fourth of July and I have Old Glory on my mind, but lately I have been drawn to stripes. It is a good thing Old Navy has an entire section of clothes on its website, labeled “stripes”. Who would have thought it possible? I have been able to indulge my love of the stripe without making a dent in my summer clothing budget.
This vintage rugby striped polo has the feminine lines I like. There is nothing worse than wearing a polo shirt that looks like it belongs to your dad. This one is only $14.50 and comes in enough colors to satisfy any preppy whim you might have.
If preppy isn’t your game, you might like this cross backed cami. It is cool enough to wear on the hottest summer days, and stylish enough to wear with shorts or even a cute skirt. I like the nautical feel it evokes without looking too boaty. I would definitely wear it for a day of sailing, if I packed a lot of sun screen, but I also think it would be a great shirt for an afternoon of shopping or meeting a friend for an iced coffee.
Horizontal stripes aren’t for everyone. While it is is true that vertical stripes do tend to slim you, if you want to wear horizontal stripes but you are afraid they will make you look too wide, this tank is a great compromise. The trapeze cami comes in quite a few colors and looks good on everyone. It is fun and flirty and a perfect complement to the lazy hazy days of summer.
