Kim, I am going to stick my neck out here....I think the wide stripe and the black and white graphic is overpowering - I can see the shirt rather than you. And to my eye it looks best with the scarf near your face, which is a much softer colour way. So I would say look for a finer stripe in a lower contrast stripe. Strictly FWIW!

I think I agree with Lynne, for the reasons she's posted. Sorry! I'm still very much learning though, so feel free to take my opinion with a pinch of salt.

KIm, can you tell us which top this is? I looked for it (the grey stripe) today at Nordies and didn't see one that looked like yours. I think you are tall enough to handle the strong contrast stripe but still like it best on you broken up with jackets 1, 3 or 4. Maybe a medium width stripe or stripes in black or navy and grey, therefore less contrast, would be easier to work with.

Kim, I always love how you do a bazillion photos of one piece styled many ways. You always look trim and fab and this is no different.

I think the shirt is this one:

I love it! Good styling.

I love it, especially with the blazer. It keeps the contrast-iness of the stripes from any potential to overpower.
