Description from OK Jacki: This is a fashion protest pick! I love all the new Pantone 2013 colors; however....everywhere I look (online/in stores)...it's stripes EVERYWHERE! And horizontal stripes, no less. It's gotta be a conspiracy. And, to make matters worse, if it's not horiz stripes, it's "color-block"...with the blocks highlighting your chest & your hips. Just what every 'well-endowed' or 'plus-size' girl wants...Let's blow it up and make it stand out. As a plus size girl...I may just have to only buy new beads this season - cause the clothes are scaring me to death. OK, I feel better now. ;-)

NY Bella says:I agree with you, Julie! It ‘s better to buy beads instead of clothes!! Somehow the beads always fit! I ‘m content to look at
the stripes on your pretty pick then on any piece of clothing!

foxhill designs vt says:I totally agree! Far to many stripes on clothes.
The stripes in your pick are super fun, though!

puppychick labratbecky says:Way to vent, Jacki!! I hate stripes!! I am short-torsoed and would love to have a boob reduction so you can imagine what they do to me!
I think we need to boycott. Beads it is. I have discovered men’s v-neck Hanes/FofL T-shirts, package of 5 or 6 to be the perfect go-to clothing. 
Tie-dye them or paint on them if you want color, otherwise white works with everything–even under a blazer.
