I did not plan this capsule very well. Ok, I didn't really plan it at all. Part of the problem is that I planned it out when we were in the midst of a heat way so it's 90% shorts and tank tops. Now that we're starting our cooler descent to fall temperature, I'm feeling rather... naked.I have no polka dots, no flowers, no stars. Even the two scarves I grabbed are solid coloured. I raided Scott's closet (all 5 hangars). I even checked my "Donate" pile. The closest I could find was a plaid pillow case.
So trying to pattern mix, be professional AND make my clothes seem a little warmer was difficult. As a result, the best I could muster was black and white pinstripes with black and white diagonal stripes. I'm certainly lucky that we're a much more casual office in summer!
And yes, I swear the blazer is pinstriped!
Sometimes you gotta work with what ya got. I think you did pretty well. I love mixing stripes. Also send me your weather plz. I'm so scared summer is going to extend forever.

I ended up mixing stripes too! :) I don't own a lot of patterns. :) I love that you used a pinstripe blazer. :)
ReplyDeleteSubtle stripes with stripes counts in my book! I like the effect. It's a great office-appropriate outfit.
ReplyDeleteChevron stripes and pin stripes are definitely two different patterns and I think they look great together!
ReplyDeletefound you on EBEW. Your patterns count! The mixing patterns was a big challenge for me too. :)
