All these stripes just means I will have a better chance of finding striped items that I usually have trouble finding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307659 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:20:12 +0000 Queen Mum 307659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree-- we haven't even hit a 70 degree day yet and I'm already about done seeing stripes. It almost takes the fun out of it.<br /> I do think that if we all here wear our stripes with polish, sophistication and dignity, we will avoid looking like we just stepped out of F21. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307658 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:15:19 +0000 Cilleena 307658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess one of the perks of not living near a larger shopping mall is that I haven't been enundated with trends really. My shopping haunts are Gap, Kohl's, Target and online...no stripe overload there at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307657 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:00:32 +0000 Deb 307657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep ... stripes are everywhere and my head is beginning to spin. I definitely want a couple - but there are *too* many choices. I think I'll need to start taking photos with my phone in order to remember which store I saw the ones I liked in ... and to remember what they looked like!</p> <p>Sheesh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307650 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 21:50:41 +0000 kellygirl 307650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see, Sara!

I haven't walked around a mall in a while, so i haven't seen all the stripes. I will proudly wear mine until the end...or until I get tired of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307448 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:55:31 +0000 ticksgirl 307448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree this seems to happen every spring. I remember F21 being pretty bad last year. I hung in there last year, but I shut down pretty quickly this year. My tolerance just isn't what it used to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307425 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:25:14 +0000 Lisa 307425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think there are stripes everywhere at the moment. But I don't mind since I like them, they are a classic print to me and an easy way to add some interest to an outfit. Although I have 4 striped tops already so I am cut off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307347 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 07:28:57 +0000 CocoLion 307347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was exactly the same way I felt about skinny jeans a few years ago. They are everywhere! I hope they go away! ; D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307346 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 07:26:21 +0000 Marley 307346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - I think the stripes craze is overkill! I have 2 striped tops in my wardrobe that I have had for several years - they don't quite match up to the boatneck striped top that I really would LIKE for this spring, but they are close enough, and so I am thinking that I am just going to stick with them and not invest any of my money on another striped top. (The minute I start seeing trends in the stores, is the minute that I am turned off and determined not to wear them!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307317 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 05:07:17 +0000 taylor 307317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara...you are funny...I am sick to death of stripes...I have never been a fan so this is akin to visual torture for me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307312 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 04:54:18 +0000 nicoleb 307312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like this happens every Spring. Stores go crazy with nautical looks and stripes. I like it, but it can be overwhelming when faced with so much of it lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307311 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 04:54:03 +0000 lyn* 307311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There were even stripes in the pharmacy today. I was blown away. Hopefully they will be tamed soon... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307309 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 04:52:18 +0000 bella 307309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, 100%. F21, in particular, is in total stripe overload mode. I am glad that I've purchased my striped top last spring and have been wearing it since the beginning of the winter, before the stripe frenzy took over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-stripe-overload-possible-already#post-307306 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 04:49:31 +0000 MNsara 307306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ran through the local mall quickly tonight after yoga -- to get a pair of Gap Long &amp; Leans at Wednesday's 45% off.</p> <p>I have been searching for my 'perfect' striped tee(s) for spring and summer, and Forever 21 caught my eye. I ducked in there, but was quickly overwhelmed by ALL striped clothing they had If you name it, they had striped it. </p> <p>I know I am totally visual (and the laundry detergent aisle at the grocery store can get to me), but it was a veritable sea of stripes!! </p> <p>Seeing so much all at once made me feel like I may have just OD'd on stripes -- without even finding a good striped tee for me. . . !!!</p> <p>Is this a revival that will be overdone in *one* season? </p>
