Sick of stripes!

I tend to buy quite a lot of stripes too.
I always think they look crisp and neat, but actually 'barrel' is probably a better description.
Your shirt looks lovely!

Just had to come back to say you look lovely too!

I didn't think you looked like a barrel. Stripes were the only thing available a couple of years ago - I blame Sea Salt!!

I love your shirt too!!

I don't mind stripes and I've got several stripy tops, but I agree that it would be nice to have the choice of something a little more understated and original for a change.

I think your shirt is very nice and looks good on you. I find myself buying stripes, there are rather a lot of them around it seems.

I do like to blouse maw. I steer clear of horizontal stripes just because I look like a little rotund thing. I do have a shirt with vertical stripes which is more slimming.

Your blouse. Where did to come from.

Go into M&S and view their new autumn/winter collection, MawBroon and you'll have spots before your eyes!

It’s M&S linen-mix and irons a treat.

Love that blouse.

I recently realized that I have seven striped summer t shirts!

Did you get that blouse in MH? As I said at the time ‘ step away from the stripes’! If only I could ?
Spots are a great alternative. Till they drive you dotty ........

I thought your striped top was lovely Maw
I was looking online at a similar one today.?

You look lovely in that blouse, Maw.

No, the shirt was from my local M&S.
Stripes are fine but what is it about summer that makes every label want to peddle the Breton sailor look - especially as none of us looks remotely like one

I’ve just got a striped top out to wear tomorrow. Maybe it’s going back in the wardrobe .

My name is Happi and I too have a wardrobe full of stripes...

I've just heard that Radio 4 have a programme at 11.30 this morning "exploring the curious history of the horizontal stripe and its use down the centuries". I imagine it'll also be available to catch up on later by anyone currently out flaunting their stripes!

I too have lots of striped tops.

I'm fed up with stripes too and have consigned my 3 Joules tops to the charity bag- I tend to shop mainloy from White Stuff but I am looking further afield for some nice autumn tops/jumpers- I'm a cold body.

At first, I didn't really relate to this thread because I don't own many striped garments. Or ......

....maybe I need to think again. I've just taken in the washing and realised that the 15 garments on the line included the following (all mine): striped tee shirt, striped cotton tunic, striped PJs, striped sleep-tee and a striped kitchen apron.

And yesterday I received an order from Lands End: a striped dress and another striped tee shirt!

I am quite a lover of stripes and I like the breton look but after hearing our Maw`s valued description the word barrel is now going round and round my head!!!

Your shirt looks lovely Maw and strangely enough I would be more interested if it has any lemon/yellow in it?
Just bought a super pair of tweed trousers for the autumn,a mixture of greys,creams,and ochre with a very narrow black stripe running lengthways.........it has a belt of the same material.The model wearing same has a lovely long sleeved blouse with this lemon colour but apart from the price I don`t like the neckline........so am looking out for a similar.Hope that makes sense?
M & S maybe having a visit tomorrow!w

Snap, Maw Broon.
I too have the same blouse, one of the best things M+S have produced in a LONG time. I get so many compliments whenever I wear it and what I particularly love is that you can team it up with so many different colours.
M+S please take note. More clothing like this please.
