Ring: Amrita Singh Jitney Ring via HauteLook – $12 (buy – 50% off with mom11)
If you’re like me, sometimes you get tired of looking at the same old clothes in your closet. Especially when you have to dress rather conservatively for work. This is how I felt when I was figuring out what to wear for this Friday. So, what do I do when I start feeling uninspired? I started mixing up different patterns and colors that I think shouldn’t work!
Somehow these navy and white stripes never seemed to strike me as something that would work with warmer tones like golds, corals, and browns. But I decided to throw it all together and just go with it. Maybe it worked? Either way, it made for a fun Friday ensemble!
And in case you’re wondering, I totally tucked my belt back in before I walked into the office. 🙂

This so works for you! I love it. Brown and navy stripes have always seemed like they go for me…and you accessorize well. I think that shirt would look cute with those chunky rope necklaces for the nautical look too.

I love your top! I have something similar, but red instead of this navy color. You're definitely great with pairing pieces in your closet!

I love the pop of colour with that clutch! The belt is a great way of pulling the whole outfit together : )
Ashley says
Ahhh so funny because the first thing I was thinking of was, "I would never think to mix navy blue with brown!" but it totally works! Nice work. That top is so versatile, too, and perfect for summer.
Vanessa says
I really like how it turned out. Sometimes I just mix random colors, and see what I get.

Stripes are a real challenge for me – an overload as a child, I'd guess – but this way I buy it all!
