<p>Before I started writing this post, I searched &#8220;stripes&#8221; on our blog to see just how many times we have written about stripes over the years. Turns out its A LOT. (<strong><a href="http://www.thecrystalpress.com/rainbow-stripes-fall-fashion/">Rainbow Stripes</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.thecrystalpress.com/nyfw-in-stripes/">Twinning In Stripes</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.thecrystalpress.com/black-white-striped-dresses-summer/">Stripe Dresses</a></strong> etc). However, it has been over a year since they got their own dedicated post, so it&#8217;s about time to revisit!</p>



<p>For two girls that tend to stick to neutral palette { <em>except for our brief moment with previously mentioned rainbow stripes last fall } </em>stripes are a perfect way to make our looks interesting.  We are fans of everything from bold striped pants that make a serious statement, to simple striped sweaters for everyday wear during the fall and winter months.   Right now I&#8217;ve got my eye on this <strong><a href="https://rstyle.me/+onJor54fCWs58aHE1LX9mA">Monki set</a></strong>.</p>

<p>When I went to round up past photos of us wearing stripes, let&#8217;s just say the results were overwhelming! It&#8217;s no wonder it is a trend / style / vibe that we keep coming back to. And like I&#8217;ve said before, we only want to write about stuff on here that we actually really like, wear, endorse, etc etc&#8230; If we have to risk repeating ourselves in an effort to be authentic, then so be it! If you&#8217;re here and reading this, then you obviously value our opinion, can relate to our style or are here to get tips for your wardrobe and we want to be as helpful as we can. </p>



<p>So, we&#8217;ll leave you with some great striped pieces available right now and also a catalog of our love affair with stripes over the past few years.  </p>
