Inspired by the architectural design of Esska shoes–full of crossings and intersections–I put together an outfit that’s full of stripes, stripes, and more stripes. Yes, it’s okay to pile on the stripes to create a look that will leave your date dizzy and wanting more. Add a splash of color in the mix, as I did with the orange belt, for a an extra bolt of visual excitement.
