The style of this building has a nice subtle horizontal stripe pattern to it. It's brightly painted with red stripes.
With the hot and humid weather here, I make it a point to wear my driving gloves when I'm roaming around the city working or running errands to protect my skin from the damaging effects of sun exposure. I know tanned skin is in vogue in the west but fair skinned is always a winning factor for Asian women. As fair and flawless as I'd like it to be, this pair of gloves with colored stripes definitely give me a boost to prevent my skin from looking even crappier and darker in the future.
Stripes have always been a popular style in fashion each year. I usually pair stripes with only plain or simple pieces to avoid looking too busy or keep within the same -color family.
What's the first thing you notice about a zebra? Yup, it' s the stripes. Zebra stripes absolutely mesmerize me for some reasons. They also inspire designers to use them in furniture, carpets and fashion.You can never go wrong with STRIPES.

If you like zebra stripes you really should go check out Carolyn's Kitchen, one of my sponsors. She has some zebra stripes that are irresistible! My SIL has already been infected by the zebra stripe bug too!

interesting stripes pictures!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's one pretty pair of driving gloves you've got there! Definitely beats the normal gray plain ones :P
ReplyDeleteOur diary/exercise book are with stripe lines. Stripe lines make our work more organize.
ReplyDeleteI'm also in favour of having a fair complexion instead of tanned.
ReplyDeleteBut the colourful gloves look too attention grabbing. :P
Congrats to Lina for being FC! Have a happy weekend, girls!

ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of stripes....now those gloves are something else....crazy wild...
ReplyDeleteA very nice collection of stripes... I too like the vertical stripes rather than horizontal.. although I really don't think they help elongate and thin enough! LOL

ReplyDeleteone cool fact about zebra stripes is that they are unique among every zebra, like finger prints.
ReplyDeleteLate lol. I like your driving gloves :D
ReplyDeleteDon't have much striped tees coz I'm quite petite, rare that i find vertical or oblique stripes. I also wear gloves when I drive on mornings but because the steering wheel is so so so cold in the morning and It's hard to get a grip. it's a small wrist cut fingerless striped gloves. slightly similar to yours
ReplyDeletevery true fashion can never be wrong when it comes to stripe. your driving gloves are stunning. :D
ReplyDeletethanks everyone for your wonderful comments and feedback.
