I have a little confession to make. I have always been into sailor-influaenced pieces; white and navy stripped tees, sailboat and anchor pendants, necklaces with large links reminiscent of anchor chains. Without even trying, sailors happen to be a pretty stylish bunch – an inspiration to fashionistas all over the world. Personally I’ve been trying to find a few simple stripped tops for a long while and yesterday I finally did. I rarely walk into H&M but I’ve recently discovered that they have great essential pieces like simple tank and tees. Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed that they have awesome navy & white striped cotton tops – simple and soft (exactly what I was looking for). And they are cheap too, ranging from $10 to $15 bucks. I don’t think I’m ready to purchase items like dresses and pants from H&M because I love well-tailored, quality clothes, but I will stay more open-minded about their simple essentials like the top I’m wearing today.
