polka dots & stripes


I am a huge enthusiast when it comes to mixing and matching items.  There really are no rules when it comes to fashion, so it is always fun to throw your own flair into your look.  It can be tricky pulling off an "unmatched" look, the key that tied this look together was the stripes and colors.  By sticking with either a similar color palette, fabric or pattern will connect each item with one another to create a consistent and cohesive look.  Then of course, I always like to add a touch of color!

    Love this combo! I agree there are not rules- fashion is art, and are it limitless.

    I'm impressed! I always want to do this but can never seem to find the right combo or I just psych myself out. Looks great!
