Look of the Day: Elbows Up, Side to Side

When I see stripes, I must buy them. And when I am at a loss of what to wear, I wear stripes. There is just something about them that makes me happy and put together when I wear them. When I saw this black and white striped sweater with elbow patches, I knew I needed it in my collection.

And maybe it's all this royal wedding talk buzzing in my head but the elboh patches made me feel ahh bit British. Crickey! You aaare lucky you aare readin' this, because one is writing this in their best (worst) English Accent, can't one tell? I'm terribly sorry but one could not be more excited about the royal wedding tomorroh, one plans to make aah deay out of it. Complete with cucumbah sandwiches and tea. So shall we tweet together tomorroh about the wedding? One does hope we shall. Splendid!
Now I just need to decide on the perfect Royal Wedding viewing outfit.
Temperlay? McQueen? Oh the Choices...

    Another winning look Amber. I love the elbow patches too. I recently got a little jacket from H&M and too be honest the reason I got it was the elbow patches. Hehehe

    I am exactly the same when it comes to stripes. I also saw this sweater at H&M when I was in Portland on a visa run. Given the rising temperatures here in Mexico, I decided against it. Now that I see it on you, I really wish I bought it anyhow...especially since I'll probably be freezing when I move to SF next month!
