I love black and white year round, but I find myself reaching for the pair constantly when transitioning between the jewel tones of Winter and the bright pastels of Spring. Once combined in a graphic stripe they look put together and crisp, even when you got ready in just a few minutes (because the time change is still really throwing you off)…
If you’re looking for a way to see stripes of your own, here’s a few affordable (and particularly cute) options:
Nest: I love all of the office supplies at See Jane Work – and I’m convinced that this letter sorter would help me to maintain my mail like a proper adult. Plus, how wonderfully would this match with the white Parson’s desk and clear ghost chair that I already have? A $7.99 necessity if you ask me.
Dressed: Have you heard about JC Penney’s latest collaboration with Canadian brand Joe Fresh? They offer modern, stylish basics at great prices – and now JCP (as their rebranding efforts prefer them to be called) is bringing our Northern neighbors right to your local mall. I love their selection of crisp button downs and wear to work dresses. This striped number is quite perfect, eh?
The Rest: I’m a sucker for good packaging, and aside from the array of lovely color choices, the striped casing on this lipstick from Topshop makes it nearly impossible to resist. I’m loving bright pink lip colors for Spring (added bonus – hot pink is a no brainer paired with black and white stripes, so feel free to add a pop of your own)
