We are close to the end of summer, I’m sorry but it is true. One trend that works well for this time of year is stripes. I like clothing with stripes; there are causal and dressy striped pieces. A striped shirt or dress is a classic wardrobe staple. Add a statement necklace and some wedges to dress it up or keep the casual look with flats and simple jewelry. You can choose thin stripes, wide stripes, a black and white combo, a blue and white combo, or a colorful stripe mix.

I shopped online at Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy because there was a sale today. Here are my results:
