Talbots again, $129.Wendy has asked me to find her "a tight one." My guess is this one would fit snugly, AND it has a bow!

And then there's ye olde LL Bean Sailor shirt. I still have one, though I mostly wear it as a pj top now.
ReplyDeleteI can't help thinking of Jean Seberg in Breathless. Love them!
Love 'em! I think they are so flattering!
ReplyDeleteVery fine. I like the second one, the slightly looser shape - and oh the most expensive!
ReplyDeleteI became enamored of the striped sailor shirt last year and purchased four from LL Bean. Mine are more of a light weight sweater. They are perfect for Spring weather with khaki's. The shirt from Elizabeth and James looks intriguing; suspect they don't make sizes large enough for me but I like the style.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing if you decide to purchase one of more of these lovelies for yourself.
Dammit, Eric Bompare's cashmere mariniere is on sale but S/O in my size. Liked it because the stripes are very fine, anything wider than a pencil's line and I look very broad- which is a consideration. Any sailor stripe looks very appealing in spring,and where summer is cool (or on the water) but to me not as appealing in fall or winter.
ReplyDeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeleteI like the first one, still haven't made up my mind if I can pull it off though. Did you get one for yourself yet? It would look so great on you.
Hope you're having a fabulous week!
It's a great look. I like the white stripes on the dark ground versus the dark on light. Definitely makes me think spring will come 'round again!
ReplyDeleteHi Une Femme.
ReplyDeleteI have a navy and white striped T that I got from the boys wear department of H & M in Hong Kong in August 2009 and I love it. I think it was about $10 so it is definitely "low end". Jean Paul Gaultier does a navy and white Chanel inspired striped fisherman's T in every collection. His are most definitely "high end" and require a stiff drink and a lie down when you confront the price point. As we say in Australia "I am loving your blog sick". Kirstin xxx
I love this look!
ReplyDeleteI'm particularly excited because I just scored a vintage Sonia Rykiel striped top that I can't wait to wear this spring. But first I have to survive this winter weather. :(
Find a tight one for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteWendyB - I just did! :-D
ReplyDeleteOh that last one is sooo Wendy Brandes! But shouldn't the bow be on the butt?
ReplyDeleteThese are great - funnily enough I saw one here today in Australia too and thought - aha! It's back again (or maybe it didn't even go away - just flew south for the winter!!)
ReplyDeleteNewsflash: This very topic is covered today in the Wall street Journal. You said it first. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the article, the stripes are flying out of the stores. So--classic as these are--you may run into a lot of other sailors.
I've always loved these! I'll be all over this finding one from the fine examples you've shown.
