I have been dying to duplicate these two pins..........
But then I didn't wear either of them.
I chickened out.
I couldn't decide if they really worked or not. And I think pattern mixing still hasn't hit good ole Southwest Missouri. Would folks stare at me funny?
Then I remembered that my days are spent with nine year old kiddos. And didn't I say that the halls were my runway last week?
So tell me. How would you wear it........yellow chevrons or navy stripes?
Majority rules.

Yellow chevron!! I do really like the stripes too.
ReplyDeleteThey both are adorable! The pattern in the skirt is small enough that you can do the bolder pattern in the top. I am a sucker for chevron, so if I HAD to pick one, that would be my vote.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for chevron too! Can't get enough! I hope that trend never dies!
Deletei like both but im totally loving the stripes. I live in a small town and get odd looks all the time! i just laughed it off and now i kinda love standing out. Your super pretty and can totally carry off this look so i say go for it!!xx
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet! Thank you! I will wear my mixed patterns with pride!
Deletei really love the chevron!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteChevron! I think the smaller polka dots and the small stripes compete. But any big pattern (floral, stripes, etc) with the skirt would be adorable!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh! I didn't think about the scale of the prints! Good point!!! Yes to floral with polka dots! I need something good and flowery!
Deletelove the yellow chevron top! The stripes and the skirt are intimidating to wear... like anyone who doesn't read blogs might not know that's ok to do now. haha
ReplyDeleteRIGHT! If you aren't on Pinterest or in blogland, you wouldn't probably realize it's the THING to DO!!!!
DeleteI love the stripes but I've always been a sucker for navy striped shirts. They both look great. Jan
ReplyDeleteThese are both SO cute! I think you should wear both!! I've worn a very similar version of the stripes/polka dots.

I say both, but I love the stripes and dots!!
ReplyDeleteI really like both! But if I had to choose the navy stripes! Such a cute skirt.

I like both, but favor the chevron. The stripe option would work better if the stripes were thicker.
ReplyDeleteEither way, you can def rock both looks!
Yellow one for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you for voting!!! ;)
DeleteLOVE the pattern mixing! I prefer the stripes...but both outfits are super cute :)

Dang, you look great in both and wish I had your figure.
ReplyDeleteI do like the yellow but also like the stripe. For me,(me thinking out loud) I would wear a shiny, plain navy blue or red belt....(I'm a sucker for red :} and wear red or navy shoes to match the belt.
Either way, you look Fantastic in either.
I wear what I like and feel if others don't like it,(only because they didn't think of doing it themselves) that's there problem.
Both great looking outfits

I took a pic with a red belt too!!!!!!!!! With the blue striped top! We are thinking alike! I guess that's a THIRD look!!!
DeleteAnd you are too sweet! Thank you so much for your lovely comments. You are right......I shouldn't even think about what others think!
Just saw your post via the Pleated Poppy. I really like the yellow & navy! I think the cardigan pulls it all together nicely. I don't think it's too out there at all, everyone seems to be doing 'print clashes' at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, that is the thing to do! I'll go for it!!!
Deleteoh em gee!! two totally different looking outfits with the same skirts, and they both work!! rock em' both girlie!!! don't chicken out... there are no mistakes in fashion ;)
ReplyDeletexo, Bev
Chevron for sure!!!! :)

ReplyDeleteTransatlantic Blonde
True, true! I'm working on that!!!
DeleteI like both, but the yellow chevrons win in my book! More colorful and fun! Wear it and let them stare. They probably just wish they had the gusto to pull it off themselves!
ReplyDeleteYou are precious! Thank you very much! I think yellow chevrons WIN! And the contrast is really what makes it!
Deletesuper cute.
ReplyDeleteI love polka dots!
I love love love it all!

Thank you so much!
DeleteI think they are both sweet, but the chevron is my favorite! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteI like them both but especially the stripes. (I somehow added at least five striped shirts to my closet this summer.) A blogger I read (flowerpatchfarmgirl) wears a lot of mismatched patterns that look adorable. I've only been bold enough to try it once - this winter with layers. Maybe I'll try again...
ReplyDeleteI think I like the navy stripes. It is also sort of a way to ease into the whole pattern mixing thing. ;) If that goes over well, then you can move up to the yellow chevron! They are both great looks!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow look more!

I love them both because both outfit look great on you! I think stripes and chevron work well with that polka dot skirt, especially because yellow and blue compliment each other in the first one, and keeping it all in the same family definitely helps, in the second one. But if I had to choose, I would pick the yellow chevron top!

I think it looks great with both. I think the yellow one is more fun and not so monotonous, but that being said, I am quite keen on the stripes. GO FOR IT GIRL!
ReplyDeleteAva Tallulah
Thanks so much! I think I'm leaning toward yellow too.
Deletei love them both!!
ReplyDeleteYellow chevron!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting kind of tired of stripes...so I vote for the chevron! The yellow color looks great, too! Don't be affraid! Wear it!!!
ReplyDeleteI do believe the yellow is winning by a landslide!
DeleteI think both look great, but I love the contrast with the yellow. And isn't it a good thing if people look at you funny? :P
ReplyDeleteI love the brightness & contrast of the chevron, definitely my favorite & very cute on you!n:)
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits look so cute. I just copied a look from Pinterest last week. Still need to blog it.
