getting defensive about stripes

I'm having mixed feelings about seeing nautical stripes everywhere these days. Half of me wants to jump up and down because it's infinitely cheaper and easier to look like Jackie Kennedy vacationing on Cape Cod every day now that everyone from Forever 21 to Marc Jacobs is embracing stripes in classic navys and reds. 

But, the selfish go-against-the-grain part of me is going to be furious every time I see a sorority girl walking down the street this summer wearing anything vaguely nautical. In my mind, I'll be screaming, I liked this look before you did - stick to your Flashdance tops and bleached cutoffs! (since this is a fantasy, there'd also be a few obscenities sprinkled in)
