{Outfit Inspiration} Stripes & Florals

There is no hiding my love affair with stripes...especially since they are in virtually every room of our house, from my son's wall, to the Mudroom back door. So it's not surprising that my closet is chock full of stripey goodness, too. I love to wear them with almost any pattern, but paired with floral is my favorite preppy combination.

Stripes tone down the feminine sweetness of the floral, and black gives the whole look an edge.

My jewels are a mix of sweet and masculine too, with a black leather cuff, a blingy bracelet (thanks, Sheaffer!), and a delicate arrow bangle (thanks, Angi!)

Are you a fan of mixing up patterns? Do you have a stripe addiction, too?
