Striped Linen

stripes7Linen is one of those fabrics that I have a love/hate relationship with. It’s ideal in the summer for it’s ability to keep one cool, but boy do the wrinkles drive me crazy! I’m just going to have to get over it this summer, because I’m loving the loose, summery feel and look of these pants. I grabbed them a few weeks ago when LOFT was doing a 50% off sale and plan on wearing them a bit dressed up as I did here as well as with a casual t-shirt and flip-flops….wrinkles and all. And let’s just talk stripes for a minute. I happen to love the pattern worn a multitude of ways, but if you’re looking to elongate, you can’t go wrong with vertical stripes. A little illusion if you will ;)
