I love striped shirts. I think that’s clear if you scroll through my outfit posts, my capsule wardrobes, and my sale picks. I think striped shirts are classic, work with so many personal styles, and are way more fun than a solid. I’m not ashamed to admit I had an entire dresser drawer filled with…
When I was a freshman in college, I had more than one acquaintance tell me I had a doppelganger on campus. None of them knew her, but they’d seen her and thought it was me until they got close up. Okay, whatever, I’ve also heard I look like the twin of Patricia Heaton and Roseanne…
