Seeing Stripes

One of my favorite experiences on eBay is when I can get myself into kind of swinging vine rhythm: An initial search leads me randomly to another search, which leads to another and another until I'm not exactly sure where I started, but I'm happy with where I've landed. (I also enjoy conversations that follow this pattern.)
Anyway, the other day I was looking for vintage Biba clothes on the site and found this adorable sweatshirt which taught me a new term, "chevron stripes" (how did I not know this before?), and helped me find (and buy) this outstandingly cool dress. From there, I linked around to this gorgeous spring evening coat, and discovered a sleek white clutch, a too-expensive-but-still-beautiful Miu Miu tote, and this simple '80s-style belt, which I'd wear over a long, slim tee with skinny gray jeans and flat earthy sandals.



















Ahhh, "chevrons" equal PowerPoint to me!! Also, am I the only one who thought that was a picture of panties at first? Gotta get my mind out of the gutter! I like that gray dress though!
