Do you refuse to wear horizontal stripes?

Actually, I took the tour of Alcatraz prison in San Francisco three weekends in a row, I loved it so much. I came home with a black and white striped T Shirt from there. It has a slogan on it, "Alcatraz Health Club - Swim for Your Life!"

I love that T Shirt and I probably wear it too often. I couldn't find a picture of the T shirt I got there 20 years ago, but here are some photos of the sense of humor they still have about Alcatraz (which is now just a tourist attraction, there have not been prisoners there since the 1960s), and what it looks like inside.

I don't refuse to wear horizontal stripes. There are a lot of things that go into whether something looks flattering on you besides print. The cut of an outfit, for instance, makes a HUGE difference, as does the fabric (tight?

Loose? Stretchy? Clingy?), the color, what you pair it with, etc. So I have some things with horizontal stripes that look great on me, and others I've left on the shelf that looked horrible.

But this has been the case with plenty of prints. Fashion's so idiosyncratic that way. I think we should go back to the days of tailors sometimes!

I have never liked anything that looked like I just escaped from jail. The prisoners used to wear black and white stripes. I have some things that have a stripe in them and it all depends on how it looks once I have it on.

Some stripes look nice, some just do not.

I don't refuse but I don't have anything with such stripes.

Yes actually, because they give me a headache. I always thought it was just me but while researching info. For mahalos how to paint stripes page (mahalo.com/how-to-paint-stripes) I discovered they've actually found that striped pattern aggravate those with migraines so commonly, migraine headaches can actually be diagnosed using stripped patterns.

I do try to avoid horizontal stripes because I'm a heavy set woman and I do know that horizontal stripes make a person look wider. I can't say I really look for vertical stripes though either. I kind of go for things mostly one color or prints rather than any kind of stripes at all.

:-).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
