You look great in your new tee! Fun mix of stripes and dots. </p> <p>I hope that all who doubt it is possible to look fab in a tee, take note. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/3#post-1838626 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 15:16:36 +0000 anne 1838626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so late to this but finally got around to getting a picture of my two new striped tees. I wore the first one today as it was unusually warm for winter. I only wear 3/4 sleeve tops with no tops over, so more for spring and autumn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/3#post-1835927 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 22:57:06 +0000 Sal 1835927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joha - stripes are a great pattern and of course your wardrobe is bigger after body changes.</p> <p>The holiday sounds terrific!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/3#post-1835812 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 11:44:09 +0000 Joha 1835812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn - those Missoni converse - they looked so perfect when I ordered them but sadly were to narrow for my increasingly fussy feet. I hope you will get lots of fun wears out of them </p> <p>On the topic of stripes - they are my favorite pattern! I'm afraid that posting numbers would be kind of embarrassing as my current wardrobe consists of stuff from before my weightloss, new stuff and even stuff I held onto during the time I had gained said weight. As I'm still figuring out what works with my new bodytype plus waiting for a style change in progress to settle down my wardrobe is embarrassingly large at the moment. </p> <p>On the upside - Just returned from a one week holiday on a boat in the Netherlands and got to wear a diffferent striped top every day. Yay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/3#post-1835267 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 10:34:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 1835267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about camo?

I wanted to wear the skirt and did not have anything paid or checked that looked right. Maybe paisley could be paired with floral. It seems a bit like a floral to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/3#post-1835125 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 20:55:42 +0000 Sal 1835125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Laura, maybe we will include that one with either animal print or with the abstract/wildcard/traditional/novelty one.... &nbsp;Perhaps with animal print. &nbsp;I am not sure I will be able to add anything to paisley although I do like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1835093 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 19:32:55 +0000 Laura G 1835093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waiting for paisley... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1835086 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 19:23:11 +0000 Sal 1835086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn the scarf is lovely and you look terrific in blue.</p> <p>Joy that is a nice mid summer look, the shine of the pewter is very effective. &nbsp;Keep wearing stripes if you like:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1835074 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 18:37:37 +0000 Anonymous 1835074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, the chevron scarf is beautiful.<br /> I know other pattern challenges are going on now, but today I ended up in stripes. EF grey linen skirt, thrifted striped tee. I later changed to red flats and added a red cardigan, but kept the silver bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834937 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 10:29:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1834937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn, I'm wearing it right now for the third day in a row.

One of the shawls is shown over, together with a striped singlet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834796 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 20:16:15 +0000 Sal 1834796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Abeille, what a stunning stripe collection and your drawers look so tidy. &nbsp;I used the kondo system on my husband's tee shirt drawer and my sons too - I have very deep drawers that are not very wide so it is not ideal for my clothes sadly,,but I could try. &nbsp;I especially like 2 4 and 5!!</p> <p>Jenni - you look great in the chevrons. &nbsp;I also have had some Glassons pieces that have worn and worn and worn (Glassons is a fairly cheap retailer here, trendy but not only for the very young).</p> <p>Skylurker - this is a lovely subtle striped look.</p> <p>Joy - you keep pulling out great looks....you have such a good eye.</p> <p>Emily - that is a good collection of stripes. &nbsp;I really like the two breton tops and of course Adidas are one of the classic stripes:) &nbsp;I would have said that stripes were my favourite but I actually have more spots right now. &nbsp;Plaid and animal print are poorly represented (I do have them both) and florals and abstract somewhere in the middle. &nbsp;I am a print lover though - but I do try and hold myself back because pre YLF I had so many wonderful prints but no outfits to wear. &nbsp;</p> <p>I will start the plaid thread later today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834791 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 20:02:09 +0000 Emily K 1834791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to play! &nbsp;But I don't have the time for a WIW at the moment. &nbsp;Here are some of my stripes from finds: &nbsp;I also have two more Joie sweaters--one charcoal and black and one charcoal and metallic/silver. And I have multiples of the Breton tees. Stripes are the only pattern I feel comfortable wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834737 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 15:34:11 +0000 Anonymous 1834737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker, I did end up semi-tucking the top, but did not get a photo. Good call. It looked and felt better that way. The navy moto is wonderful with the crops and white shirt.<br /> Jenni, the Sabatini jacket and your coat are fab.<br /> L'Abeille, I also like #2 best and envy your neat drawers.<br /> Here is a quick look at my stripes today, pattern mixing with floral cardigan. The stripes and pants (EF from 30X30 challenge) are navy. I am wearing s navy tank under the striped shirt. The shirt can act as a light jacket as it warms up today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834690 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 11:30:56 +0000 skylurker 1834690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'abeille : I love, love #2, I think it's my favourite outfit on you ever.<br /> Jenni, I remember the conference outfits, looking cute in your beanie<br /> Donna : great dress<br /> Joy : you were ahead of the game, buying cold shoulders a couple years back. I want to semi tuck the top but I always want to tweak something in wide cropped outfits, so : disregard my opinion :)</p> <p>I wear my navy moto with stripes today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834679 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 10:43:42 +0000 Jenni NZ 1834679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just adding before bed my fave short black and white swing coat, like tiny wee chevrons. It is actually only 15% wool 85% polyester when I check the label- but I did get it on sale at Glassons for $60 in 2011 and have worn over 30 times- under $2 a wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834656 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 06:21:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 1834656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I have quite a lot. Will first just post the chevron(?) Sabatini jacket I am wearing today in close-up, and also when I wore it to Conference recently. It is wool, so soft and warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834642 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 04:46:16 +0000 L'Abeille 1834642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the queen of stripes. Well MsMary probably has me beat... I had dreams of photographing all my stripey items grouped by type. But with 4 overnight shifts in the past 6 days I haven't even snapped the stripes I've been wearing! So I'll have to settle for a narrative list illustrated with some outfits from my archives.</p> <p>Breton stripes: 1 sleeveless, 7 short sleeved, and 4 long sleeved tops (only some are visible in this pic of my Kondo'd drawers). Plus a cardigan, sweater dress, maxi skirt, and a tube skirt that's more of a rugby stripe.</p> <p>Winter horizontal stripes: one turtleneck and two sweater vests in grey with white or black.</p> <p>True pinstripes: these are mostly fall and winter wear, except for the navy chinos in pic 6. There are at least 4 pairs of pinstriped pants in black and something; also a grey with white pinstripe tunic and skirt.</p> <p>Then there are what I think of as pinstriped shirts, although many of them are more of a Bengal stripe (narrow stripes of equal width white and blue ). I counted 7 shirts this morning. Also shirtdress (pic 7), shorts, and seersucker pants. (All of these get plenty of wear, avoiding laundry bottlenecks. I got rid of the red white blue and yellow shirt because it was too loud.)</p> <p>Uncounted: striped purses. One true purse; at least 10 tote bags with different roles.</p> <p>Also striped socks; at least 5 pairs. I don't look at my socks in summer. (Pic 8 is not very flattering but has striped shirt AND socks.)</p> <p>I am all about scarves but only one has stripes, also dots AND animal print, so saving it for that thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834612 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 00:01:00 +0000 Sal 1834612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I love stripes and floral together and this is a super look.</p> <p>Donna - what a stunning new dress and I like all your stylings.</p> <p>Joy - your husband is a lucky man and congratulations on the anniversary. &nbsp;You look wonderful in the stripes.</p> <p>Thanks for the support - Angie, Skylurker, Fashiontern. &nbsp;I agree it is inspiring to see new ways to wear stripes.</p> <p>Feel free to keep adding stripey, geometric or chevron looks and I will start the Plaid thread tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834604 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 21:17:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1834604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, that dress looks great on you. I'd forgotten all about warming up a dress--here, it is too hot to wear a dress like that for a couple more months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-challenge-two-show-us-your-stripeschevronsgeometric-patterns/page/2#post-1834565 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 18:49:19 +0000 Anonymous 1834565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also seeing new ways of using stripes.
