Dear Navy and White Stripes,
I seriously do not know how to quit you.
Love,

Truly inspiring images Erin! You are always really good at finding great images for your readers to be inspired of. Thx.
just before I could’ve been committed, i moved onto orange and white stripes! i’ll stay with that for awhile until the ocd kicks in on that combo and I have to move to another :)
Ekkk! I would love that car!
I second that and remain a hopeless addict myself! A little sailor within!
Navy and White stripes are such a classic pattern! I love them, they remind me of summers at my cottage.
HA HA! I love this post. I think I’m with you on your last confession. I have a stack of them in the closet and all I can think about is how I need more because one has a hole, the other isn’t long enough, etc.

Oh god, you just spoke for me. It’s such a problem. It’s getting to the point where I can’t even distinguish if something is cute/pretty/actually appealing, I just see the stripes and I’m instantly sold.
Love this!
so classic, and somehow always looks fresh every spring!
Great post! I love me some navy and white stripes, too. Any idea where the trench coat is from in the second to last picture?? I. Must. Have!
haha i love this combo on other people but it’s just a little too cliche prep for me
in dramatic fashion
I have the same problem… BUT every time I buy a striped shirt one of my sisters comes over and sneaks it out of my closet and I never see it again. So yea, I buy many but have none!
Such beautiful images, Erin!
Happy Monday.

Same here! I’ve decided it’s fine to wear a uniform, a la Michael Kors. :)
Right there with you! I also have a white t-shirt obsession :)
what is the source for the 1st image (sweater on the top left)?
You. Are. Not. Alone. I have a drawer dedicated to my blue and white striped sweaters, jerseys, etc. OBSESSED.

…. i’m with ya!
Can you list sources for your images? I would love to know where some of the clothes are from.
I am SO glad that someone else shares my addiction to navy and white stripes!

c’est si bon! navy & white stripes are so chic. hopelessly timeless. impossibly classic. love them.
@Gretchen, Thank you!!
Suellen Raniero here. Just thought that I would mention this site as well http://www.thecarhunters.com/. Have a great day!
Couldn’t agree more – this spring I keep gravitating towards navy and white. Such a simple fresh style that works on most people!
i’m right there with you. if Navy and White Stripes is wrong, i don’t want to be right.
I see a striped dress and denim jacket in my future!!!
I love blue and white stripes! so classic. i need that guest/kids bedroom at some point in my life.
p.s. i immediately sent this to my roommate, because she has a similar stripes-addiction. i (and her mom, actually!) yell at her every time she buys a new one!
ERIN, love love love your post! I’ve made stripes my life’s work – and would love you to check out http://www.stripedshirt.com. Navy and white, and 13 other color combos right now. I’d love to get you a shirt to try. Seriously. Love the post, and all the amazing pics!

With you all the way I am completely addicted to striped jersey. I also want to do a horizontal striped hallway – DH not keen. My excuse (if one was ever needed) is that I live by the sea…. I am just as hopelessly committed to navy & red stripes too. Also bought a navy and yellow striped boat neck at the beginning of the year. As I am expecting I’m hoping/planning for a coastal/nautical nursery. Striped ceiling is the plan for us….
Story of my life, to a T. It’s getting to be disgusting but there’s just something so classically perfect about them that they’re totally irresistible.
aahhh me too! all the cute dresses pictured- where can i get them?!
I have been doing the same since December 2010 with black and white stripes! What is wrong with me? I have too many shirts and shirt dresses now! I am so not creative. But they are so simple and classic!
