last week i posted this photo on Instagram without even thinking twice, which resulted in an unprecedented number of comments of women left and right chiming in that they, too, had this particular problem. i mean – we basically all want to look like French mimes, right? these aren’t even all the striped shirts i own you guys.

fact is a would buy another breton stripe to add to my collection in a nano second. when recently launched their i think i actually started salivating at the mouth. unfortunately they don’t ship to SA. but one day they will be mine…

    I love stripes! Love the first photo of striped tees collection and yes, I, too, also grew a little crazy over Everlane’s new collection of breton stripe classics.

  • Vanya says:

    OMG THAT’S why I’ve been obsessively thinking about where I’m going to buy my next PERFECT stripy top this whole week! I must have scrolled past your instagram and oh boy did it stick in my subconscious. Drool.

  • Kristien says:

    I love stripes too! I’m a big sucker for striped tees and striped socks.
    It’s that one pattern that’s classic yet a tiny bit whimsical at the same time :)

  • Caroline Knowles says:

    Yeah, our problems are the very same – http://instagram.com/p/qNmQ1iqUit/?modal=true

    Love Everlane is in on the breton game now but I wasn’t crazy about the color combos. Slightly disappointed there isn’t a navy / creme or black / white combo.

    • Miss Moss says:

      yeah it’s interesting that they didn’t want to go for the more classic colour combos. maybe they wanted it to be more unisex?

  • Ron McQuade says:

    I think I suffer from the same problem, partly because I haord even low quality stripes. I’d like to find a couple of high quality striped pieces and keep just those. These are lovely <3

  • Morgan A. says:

    I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD A PROBLEM! I am such a sucker for a striped shirt. Black and white or blue and white. Can’t pass one up!

  • Hannah says:

    I love stripes too, and these photos just make me want more!

    i am always on the lookout for a good striped tee, and they are definitely the things i wear out the fastest, year after year. love them! you have a great collection :)
    i agree with the comment above about being a little disappointed at everlane’s color offerings, and the fact that they’re unisex… i’m so small that unisex things just end up looking dumb on me. BUT j.crew has started offering their tees in petite sizes, and it looks like they have some cute options this spring!

    This post made me realize that somehow, I only own ONE striped shirt, and I am now viewing it as a problem. I definitely need more.

    ooh, I am reading your blog after a little while – why the switch in format? it is SO much nicer not having to click fifty times each time I want to read a post, and to just be able to scroll downwards and see the older things you’ve posted. please go back!

    • Miss Moss says:

      hi – there is a normal blog format – there are links to it in the sidebar and in the menu at the top.

    As I sit here wearing my own striped tee, I can only raise my hand in salute to this post. ;)

    I too am striped obsessed. I missed the initial sale of the shirts so mine is backordered till the middle of March. Can’t wait!

  • Robynne says:

    YES! I am also obsessed with all the stripes. Don’t have an impressive collection like you but I’m getting there :)

  • L says:

    Oh my so much clothes! Hope you can be happy with them!
    Love your style and blog

  • Erin Eyesore says:
