I am a sucker for stripes.  Whether it’s summer or winter, the classic stripe is always in-style and [thankfully] a slimming pattern.  The main reason it should be part of anyone’s “go-to” wardrobe is it’s versatility:  you can pair black and navy stripes with bright colors, florals, leather, fur, and denim for a more relaxed look.  Just search “stripes” on Pinterest and you’ll get every combination imaginable!

My nautical stripes were even more fitting on this cold Christmas Day in Annapolis, down by the water.  We spent the day with Teddy’s family and family friends eating oysters and crab cakes and drinking home-brewed beer [delicious!].
