Have you tried mixing stripes yet? If not, may I suggest you do this soon? It’s a surprisingly easy look to pull off. Just choose two prints similar in size or color. For this look, I went with the classic color combination of black and white.
I threw in a third print for good measure- chevron. (Lovely Side Note- sign up for Sephora’s V.I.B. rewards program if you shop their store- this clutch was a freebie!) I finished the look with a pop of neon from the shoes, because, why not?
Jacket: Express (similar)/ Shirt: French Connection (similar)/ Skirt: Aqua (similar)/ Shoes: J.Crew/ Clutch: Sephora (similar)/ Necklace: Forever 21 (similar)/ Rings: The Limited/ Sunglasses: Forever 21
