Polyvore Looks: Stylish Stripes

My mind is always dreaming up new outfit combinations..it is like a sort of mental outfit math where I calculate different possibilities based on the specific pieces I have.  Sometimes when I come up with an idea for an outfit, or see an outfit I like on someone else, I quickly sketch it out.  Lately, though, I've created a lot of looks on Polyvore instead.  Polyvore just looks so much neater and more fashionable than a sketch, and I there is something enjoyable about tracking down items that are similar to mine and creating sets.  So, I thought I'd share a few outfits that I created based on striped items from my own closet.

So, what patterns are your favorites? Or do you prefer to stick to solid pieces?

    I'm all about stripes and polka dots. And I like to try to come up with new outfit combinations for my pieces as well. It's fun.

    These are gorgeously put together outfits, I especially love the 1st & 3rd looks! I've never owned too many striped items, more polka dots instead, though I think this year I might change it up a bit :) x
