WhatIWore: I recently read something cool - classic Breton shirts have twenty one stripes to represent Napoleon’s victories against the British. I double counted and oui! this shirt fits the bill! 

Something else I noticed just as Adam began snapping today’s outfit photos…

I’ve been wearing versions of this outfit a lot lately. At the lake last weekend I wore the same tee (seen here) and jean shorts every day. Last weekend, it was an older striped tee and mom wide leg jeans and the same hat-skirt-sandals-adorable baby in my arms-combo a couple weeks before that.  Ya know what they say #ifitaintbroken….
