Stripey Obsession

With August's Mid-Month Status Report, I could have just said "stripes," but I wanted to mix it up & give myself a real challenge. Stripes would have been too easy. I have a lot of stripey items of clothing. In fact, I made a little inventory. As of this moment, I own:

• 1 pair black & white striped leggings
• 4 striped long-sleeve knit shirts (black & white, black & purple, black & red, black & pink)
• 1 black & white striped blouse
• 1 black & white striped knit maxi skirt
• 1 black & red striped knit maxi dress
• 2 striped non-knit skirts (black & white, black & grey)
• 2 black & white striped dresses
• 4 striped cardigan sweaters (black & white, black & purple, black & pink, grey & white)
• 2 black & white striped knit jackets
• 1 black & white striped non-knit jacket
• 2 pair striped flat shoes (black & white, black & pink)
• 2 pair striped tights (black & purple, black & burgundy)
• 1 black & white pair striped earrings
• 3 striped scarves (black & white, black & purple, black & pink)

I also have a bunch of stripey knee-high cotton socks I only wear with historical costumes, & I've made four 18th-century costumes in striped fabric (black & purple, black & white, pink & white, black & red). I've also owned a couple black & white Victorian bustle costumes in the past, made by others.

Addiction maybe? If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.
