In Search of Seth Aaron's Striped Jacket

By -
The week Seth Aaron created a stunning stripe jacket for the Mommy and Me challenge on this season (season seven) of Project Runway I suddenly became drawn to anything with black and white stripes. The stripes mimicked the houndstooth in the mini look but went beyond typical check, houndstooth or stripe looks. Now, weeks after the show aired, I find myself still looking for any jacket that could live up to what is sure to be one of the most memorable designs in Project Runway history. Here are a few close options:
Top Row:
Oversize Triangle Stripe Jacket/Vest, ASOS $341.88
Striped Jersey Blazer, Topshop $110
Petite Stripe Jacket, Topshop $55
Labour of Love Striped Cotton Clown blazer, Farfetch $132
Bottom Row:
BCBG Striped cotton short sleeve blazer, Bluefly $139.99
Motel Contrast Shoulder Jacket, ASOS $47.86
Ponté-Knit Striped Blazer, Spiegel $79
Chaps Striped Sateen Jacket, Kohls $70

Since jackets were difficult to find, I looked for some tops and cardigans that could give a similar effect: Top Row:
Stripe Button Front Tunic, Arden B $39
Stripe Jersey Trapeze Tank, Outnet $55
Stripe Wrap Cardigan, The Limited $59.50
Stripe Henley Hoodie, Macy's $29.99
Bottom Row:
Ruffle Trim Stripe Top, Arden B $39
Stripe T-Shirt, Topshop $54
Stripe Trapeze Long Sleeve Top, Outnet $82.50
Strip Infinity Wrap, Oak $89

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone.

Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
