saint james striped shirts at lark



Before leaving to visit Vancouver a month ago, my friend Mikey raved about how excited he was to go shopping there and showed me the Lark store's website where he planned to go to check out their selection of Saint James striped shirts. He ended up purchasing a short sleeved top with navy stripes and upon seeing it I was seriously tempted to run away with it. One of these days I'll get a picture of how he wears it! Although I do regret not having asked him to bring me back one, I'm still planning on ordering from the site when I get the chance. I'm thinking maybe red stripes with 3/4 sleeves? Or a short sleeved navy one like Mikey's? Or perhaps both? I can't decide!




In any case, posting about this was primarily sparked by a visit to the site after seeing it on him a few days ago and a need to spread the word since I've received a couple of emails asking where readers can get striped shirts like mine. While everyone doesn't have the chance to score at vintage or thrift stores, I'd say that these Saint James shirts are a great alternative. Wait, what am I saying? These shirts are way better than any ratty old tee! I need to stop myself from buying their whole selection. For now, here are these amazing shots that I found at the Lark blog. I'm a sucked for these colors in photos.

you read my mind: i want the cream with the red stripes. i'm really picky about striped shirts. some can look so tacky so i havent yet come across a striped shirt that i liked. the cream with the navy is nice too.

A good striped shirt is like nothing else! Just go for it and buy both if you really can't make up your mind.

Huzzah to Vancouver! As for anonymous, Lark is on Main St, a block north of Broadway! I'm excited to check out these stripe shirts.

you should get BOTH.

Since I saw this pretty girl frolicking the streets a couple of days ago, wearing a striped oversized shirt, I've been obsessed with finding some myself.

Although I must say striped shirts are addicted to buy- especially after watching Coco avant Chanel- makes me wanna own even more stripes!

I found out about these shirts when I was in France. They are super comfortable. I subscribe to Gwyneth Paltrow's goop newsletter for her vegan advice and she was sported wearing one. Annabelle and others should definitely check it out!
