Tim Burton Stripes

I must be on some sort of Tim Burtonesque spree because lately I’ve just been wearing black, black with white, or black with more black. I’ve always been a Tim Burton fan ever since Beetlejuice and Nightmare before Christmas and of course you readers can probably tell I love stripes. This vertical striped top made me want to pair it with some kooky spiral glasses and maybe a top hat (if I had one), but I went with a pencil skirt instead. Although plain looking at first, I love the detailed stitching around the waist and pockets and the exterior zipper that gives it a little edginess. Now if I could just find a top hat…
