As I have shared before on my blog I am obsessed with stripes as of late. This is because they are not only the best pairing with slim jeans, boyfriend jeans, shorts or skirts (so many options right!) but they also pair magically with florals. If you want to achieve this effortless but really not-so-effortless look than keep on reading.
To create a fashion forward look with these two pattern plays, opt for the same colour story. If you have too many different colours going on than there won’t be a true focal point to your ensemble. I find that looking for stripes and florals with blue tones in makes it easier to achieve a balanced outfit. When trying to choose accessories, find some that are basic, minimal and a neutral usually works best. To break up the two patterns in this post, I chose a brown toned skinny belt to bring attention to the waist (if this is what you’re trying to feature than choosing a belt will help break up your waist and draw attention to how small it is.)
When choosing jewellery, try and find minimal pieces that are one metal tone. Select a classic like a Michael Kors watch and a simple chain link necklace. When choosing shoes, stick with a neutral colour to keep the focus on how chic your ensemble is. Do you dare to try this trend? If so than please leave your comments below and tell me if you would rock it (or if you already have than post your links 🙂
Also, I have a new template and I would love your opinions on it. Thank you to Phil at http://www.pipdig.co for the new look.
