This season's must-have: Striped tee

It's my new obsession... a three-quarter sleeve or long sleeve striped tee. It's always had a nautical feel, but lately it's becoming more versatile as a closet staple that can be used in any outfit. I love the idea of wearing it with jeans and some Toms for the weekend, a skirt and flats for a weekday, or (my favorite) under a strappy summer dress (since the weather's still a bit chilly). Can't picture it? Here's some inspiration:

I love the casual "weekend" feel of this look. And oxfords?
