Playful Stripes Galore!

It's amazing to me how as one gets older, one starts liking things not previously liked.  Now, I haven't been a fan of striped women's clothing for so long, as the striped clothes consisted of two colors of horizontal stripes in the same width on t-shirts, and ladies striped dress shirts for the office.  Basic clothing staples.  

Watching Project Runway's 10th season, episode 6, online, what do I see Heidi Klum wearing?  This fantastic knit dress with various sized stripes, in three colors,  running in diagonal and horizontal directions.  Fantastic!  I now love stripes.  And I found more playfully striped clothing that suit the millenium and that I would dare to wear.

It's Sweater Weather

I'm sitting by my glass balcony door right now and feeling the cold.  It's sweater weather again folks!  I love sweaters, they're so comforting and warming.  There are so many versions of the sweater for women.

Fashion designers, I think there's a niche still open.  I had a time looking for unique stylish sweaters for men.   Maybe men don't buy anything too different from what they're used to seeing and wearing currently.   Argyle, solid dark colors, and horizontal stripes are some of the popular sweater styles for men.  Maybe I should work on designing unique sweaters for men myself for fall/winter 2011...

I don't know about you, but I think some of the very style forward websites have some unusual names.  Maybe I should change SK Clothes to something more catchy...
