On my trip to Seattle, I went to this random boutique on Bainbridge Island and saw a ridiculous banana print dress. I mean, who would buy something like that? Yeeaaahhhh… Someone who apparently has a thing for fruit prints lately (I was actually wearing a strawberry shirt when I bought this banana dress). Also someone who had plans to attend a friend’s surprise birthday brunch a few days later, and that friend just happens to love bananas.

Plus, the woman at the shop (Magnolias) was super cool and gave us a great recommendation for wine tasting and lunch down the street, both of which we did and both of which were A+. And the brand that makes this dress is based in Seattle, so basically I was just supporting the local economy. So I went in with zero reasons to buy a banana print, but it didn’t take long to come up with about eight. Oh yeah – potassium – that’s nine.

I realized my last 4 posts involved florals, so here’s proof that I have not abandoned by first love, stripes. Stripes are on a level with Gene Kelly, Clueless, and cookie dough ice cream. They can never be replaced, only supplemented.
