I have to thank my husband for getting me this skirt and the sunglasses. What….a good husband, leaving me little gifts, speaking my love language!!! I was eying this skirt for a while, thinking of all its styling possibilities and then once it was in my possession, I was overjoyed and overwhelmed with excitement, all of my styling ideas flew right out of my head and I panicked. Yes, fabric is super stimulating for me. It was like when you were in grade school and the boy/girl you liked finally called you and then you hung up on them because it was so terrifyingly surreal they were actually calling, you couldn’t possibly get your mouth to form a sentence. Luckily, I have matured (some), so I wasn’t going to give up on this pencil skirt. I do what never fails, answer like with like. It was striped so it must go with a stripe! It’s like answering a question with a question, you will always win. Try it.
P.S. This skirt is also great paired with a chambray shirt seen here on Sequins and Stilettos and here on jcrewismyfavestore. It also looks lovely with white, seen here on Tweed and Toile. Thank you and enjoy!!!

I LOVE this outfit!!!! You look fabulous as always! And, I also love your point about your husband “speaking [your] love language.” I love it! That’s one of my favorite books!!!! I’m actually shocked that gifts isn’t one of my love languages, LOL! And, thanks SO much for the link love.
You are so welcome and thank you, friend!!! I agree with you on the book, it’s great! I am all about actions and gifts:) I’m surprised yours isn’t through J.Crew gifts, lol!
Love,love this outfit!
Perfection!
Thank you Ina! That is very kind of you:) xo
Love the two different stripes pattern together and your necklace is AMAZING! You look fab as always!
Thank you so much beautiful friend! One can never have too many necklaces in my book:) xo
Love this one! Good job Ty!
Thanks pnut! He definitely surprises me:)
First of all, your hubby gets major brownie points! Secondly, gorgeous print mixing here! I spent last night working on a print mixing how-to post, and stripes-on-stripes is one of the looks I put together. If it’s ok with you, I’d love to link to this post as well because you are rocking such a super stylish, approachable way to wear different patterns.
Thank you so much friend! You can definitely link to my post! I’m so happy and grateful you like my styling so much to refer to it in your post, thanks for that:) I love how informative your blog is btw and am following you now. Your style is precious, xo
I love this outfit! Stripes and leopard…right up my alley! Also, thanks for the link love! :o)
Absolutely, you are so welcome! I adore your sense of style! Thanks for note and for stopping by:) Love your fur kids too btw! xo
The combination of stripes and animal print is genius- I will have to copy you!!
Thanks Chloe!!! Can’t wait to see your take on it, you always look AMAZING! xoxo
Another outfit victory!! I never would have thought of this but it looks great on you!! Thanks for the idea! Keep it up!
Outfit Victory, I love it!!! You are too kind Marcia! Thanks for all your support. I will do my best to keep winning:) xoxo
You are a brave pattern mixer, I love it!! Glad you didn’t give up on that skirt because it’s totally cute.
Thank you! Sometimes I wonder if I should be walking out of the house dressed as i am, but then I think “who cares, as long as I like it!” Love this skirt too, I periodically walk by my closet and just look at it in all it’s glory, is that weird? lol
I would love to do a stripes with stripes outfit, but I have no stripey bottoms–only tops! Maybe I can do a striped dress/blazer combo in the cooler future! Looks great with the leopard, too!

Hey Taylor, that would look great! You could also try a striped blazer with a striped shirt to get the same effect on top and then just pair it with some jeans:)
Ummmm, This is incredibly cute.

Oh em gee. This is a wonderful look. I do not have the guts to mix stripes but you have certainly pulled this look off. Love it. And hubby’s got good taste!
Thank you, but I bet you would look terrific in this mix. You are so darling you could def pull it off.
love the different stripes combination! I got the blue version of the deck stripe pencil skirt and it is due to arrive some time this week. Can’t wait!
Girl, you are gonna love this skirt! I’m excited for you! Hope you do a post when it arrives:) xo

Yeah, he’s a keeper. I knew he was up to something when he asked what size I was, lol.
Love this! Tres chic. 🙂
Thank you lovie:) xo
If there’s one thing I love, it’s stripes. If there’s another thing I love, it’s more stripes. And if there’s one MORE thing I love, it’s leopard print. Sooo…this outfit’s OK. Maybe I like it.

We have not one, not two, but three things in common: a love for stripes, more stripes, and leopard print. I’d say we are off to a good start:) xo
I love how you paired the stripes and stripes!
