Trending Through the Decades: Stripes

Welcome to the 15th edition of Trending Through the decades.  This is a fun link up where you can show how your age decade styles a current trend.  This week it's all about stripes.

Stripes were all over the place in the fall and seem to be holding their own for the spring trends too.
I chose to wear my striped tee with a knee length leather skirt (yep that's me at almost 54 wearing a leather skirt!)  mensware vest and dark grey tights (I think the closest to bright tights I will wear) .  The way I tied the scarf is what I learned new this week.  I think when things settle down I might do a weekly post on what I learned this week from blogging.  I actually tied it like a mans tie and I love the style.


I also posted Sunday about getting my outfits together the night before........So this is my first attempt.
Sadly, the only thing I didn't like was the scarf.  I really should have gone with something brighter.  I kind of feel like I was dressing for a dark and cloudy day.   Shortly, I will be picking out my outfit for tomorrow.   My husband says sometimes I'm like dress up Barbie.  What the hell!   A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Have a great week and link up your stripe attitude .  We all live with to many rules.  All I ask is that you link back to my blog (and no I don't have time to check and delete you) And it would be really nice it you would put your age decade next to your name EX:  Tammy (50's)

Outfit stats:
Skirt thrifted 2.50
Vest thrifted 1.00
Tee Target clearance 5.00
Silk scarf thrifted 1.00
Tights Target 8.00
J Crew boots thrifted 4.00
Bottom, line I paid almost as much for my whole outfit that I paid for my tights!!!! Come on summer, these things are to expensive!
