Nautical Stripes


The nautical mood of stripes has always appealed to me. A dark color like navy or black combined with white somehow is a print in a classic way that isn't present, say, in fleur-de-lis printed brocade. (Not that I've seen many people wear that, but just as an example.) The monochrome palette of colors in this assemble makes me reminisce the small but stylish apartment block I visited in Houston (found here). A similar color scheme, but all the more made unique by the format. Looking at the stripes present in these photographs, I understand why I just purchased several more striped garments to add to my already ridiculously large collection. Whenever I look at stripes nowadays, I have a sudden craving for the beautiful blue waters of the Black Sea. Take me to Ukraine!
