QUARTET SERIES: Crazy about stripes

I was thinking about this blog, and how to make it different from all fashion blogs out there (at least the ones I know of) and inspiration came in the form of this striped black & white tunic (forever21.com)
The story is simple: as usual, when summer came I found that I had nothing to wear... and this tunic was my favorite summer find. I discovered that I wear it practically with anything and practically everywhere... to the movies, to the fancy dinner, to walk the dogs, to the club...
I must admit, though, that I have not figured out how to wear it to work:-) Any suggestions?

It's versatility is pretty much unlimited... and this was my inspiration: demonstrate that all clothes are like chameleons - on one hand they express our personality and style but on the other they themselves can be worn in variety of ways and dressed up or down, creating unique combinations. So I decided to start a QUARTET Series - demonstrating how one item can be worn in 4 different ways...
