Pinstripes and Polka Dots: The perfect juxtaposition of prints. Like corals + cognacs, when paired just right, they pop.
Experimenting with contrasting prints is something I've been drawn to lately, but taking it from the runway to the real world can be quite a challenge.

However, when I paired these two classic pieces together, it showed me how fun and easy it can be. I will be forever loyal to a classic stripe, but now I'm a bigger fan of marrying it with a quirky polka dotted palette!

I'm such a stripes girl but I've been wanting to incorporate polka dots into my wardrobe. I would have never thought to pair them like this but bc the dots are small, it works. Super cute look!
Your outfit looks fab! I love the combo of the polka dots with the stripes and the monochromatic colour scheme keeps it polished - love it! Thanks for visiting my blog, too
You look fabulous! I'm especially loving the striped jacket!
