Our Favorite Stripe Trends Spotted on Pinterest

March 30, 2012 at 11:37 am , by Rachel Shippy

There is nothing I don’t love about a striped pattern – it’s clean, it’s playful, it can be edgy or preppy and let’s face it, the nautical stripes vibe just makes me feel one step closer to owning a boat (can you blame a lady for dreaming?).

Check out some of my favorites from Pinterest this week…
