ADDICTED TO STRIPES

I think it is safe to say I am addicted to stripes at the moment, ever since I did my first post on the trend back in January I have been drawn to them in the shops and can't seem to stop myself. I got this top (below) in Zara the other day, for no particular reason other than that it caught my eye and it just didn't seem right to leave it behind. To make myself feel better about buying it I thought I would try and style it up a few ways with items already in my wardrobe (rather than going back for the trousers I saw, also in Zara). I then realised what a versatile little number it was and wanted to share my outfit ideas with you.
