Pairing Stripes - Part One

How can one resist a classic striped tee? I am still searching for an answer (or not). All of us have worn it - when we dress up, when we don't, at school, when we run to the store or even the gym. It is a wardrobe essential. A classic.
 
Pairing stripes is so much fun without having to try too hard (or look like you did!). This will be the first of a three part series where I shall play with stripes. I wore a striped dress with tangerine accents in the past, but, in this series the outfits will use multiple pieces of clothing, so we maximize the potentional of the humble striped tee.
 
Here's the first look. I call it the Color Cave because the bold colors cave in on the striped tee. While the look is centered on the tee, the stripes become a canvas to the red and yellow pieces. I matched the shoes to the blazer which bind the whole outfit together. Try this look with other complimentary colors - how about fuchsia with lime green, or blue with orange?

Dressing up shorts






  
 Shorts: Forever21
Lace Bandaeu: Old  (Other options here, here and here)
Butterfly necklace: Spain (This is a pretty option)
Peep Toes: Calvin Klein 
Bag: Zara (Sold out, and, couldn't find anything similar for you guys! Will be on the lookout.)

It was a 100 degree Friday evening (that explains the shorts), and, the perfect time to get my favorite cocktail at Geisha a Go Go, a neighborhood Japanese pub which stirs up delicious (only!) sake infused cocktails. Alternatively (?), go for the fruit infused sake that is served in neon green test tubes. My obsession with everything Japanese, and, the lack of a Sanrio store in the vicinity makes me a regular here.

...and, part of the proceeds from the (pink) cocktails go to a breast cancer foundation. Philanthropy infused indulgence never got better, did it?
