I am obsessed with blue and white striped tops. OBSESSED. I have sincerely own like eight or nine of them and I always want a new one. I need to get a grip. So that might be what's pushing me to the "fab" side of the equation with this look:

The crotch of those pants kind of makes me want to kill myself but there's something about this that I weirdly like. It's sort of like J Crew catalog meets Sassy Relaxed Fashion-y Business Person meets French Sailor meets Vacation (the concept, not the Chevy Chase movie. Sadly).
