Who doesn't love stripes these days? They definitely make a statement when paired with solid colors like what I am wearing today. At the same time, stripes also go hand in hand when it comes to pattern mixing your wardrobe. I have mixed stripes and prints over and over again; florals, tartan and even camouflage. Basic stripe tees, jackets or bottoms don't have to be the statement piece in your outfit, but a neutral as well.

In other news, I scored a pair of Zara dupes on the Go Jane website. I have been scouring eBay and Poshmark to try and find these heels that sold out quick a few seasons ago. Every time I found a pair the person selling them wanted $75 or more dollars. Um, no thanks...not for a used pair of shoes.

Anyway, I was doing my weekly perusing on Go Jane and discovered these pointy toe ankle strap heels I am wearing today. You guys, they are almost identical to the Zara ones and less than $26.00. 

In case you are wondering, yes, they are comfortable and fit true to size. I can't wait to wear them again and are a perfect heel for every season. 

Have you found any good dupes lately? I swear, it seems like if you wait long enough and have the patience, some company out there will figure out a way to recreate a popular style for a fraction of the cost.
