I have been trying to get more out of my wardrobe by coming up with new outfits. This is sometimes hard to do when you already know what outfits will work well together. I have found that I gravitate towards these on a weekly basis because I don’t have time to think about anything else on a morning when getting Esther ready for Kindy with a toddler and baby needing to be changed and fed at the same time.
I haven’t bought any clothes recently because the budget doesn’t allow for any new purchases at the moment so I have been looking through my wardrobe and trying to see what I can come up with.
Today the weather is cooler in Brisbane and it’s the perfect day to wear a scarf. I chose to wear my Bohemian Traders Stripe Tee with my red polka dot scarf.
How to wear polka dots and stripes
The pattern clash works because of the common colour red in both the top and the scarf.
I’m finding clashing prints are helping me get more out of my wardrobe. In my experience, pattern clashes work best with a common colour in both pieces. I also try to balance each clash with one busy print and one simple print. For example I wear a simple stripe tee as the simple print and a busy paisley print for my pants.
The polka dot and stripe clash are two simple prints but they work well because of the equal red and white combination in the scarf and tee.
Are you a print clash fan? Do you prefer polka dots or stripes or BOTH?
