There is no hiding my love affair with stripes…especially since they are in virtually every room of our house, from my son’s wall, to the Mudroom back door. So it’s not surprising that my closet is chock full of stripey goodness, too. I love to wear them with almost any pattern, but paired with floral is my favorite preppy combination.
Stripes tone down the feminine sweetness of the floral, and black gives the whole look an edge.
My jewels are a mix of sweet and masculine too, with a black leather cuff, a blingy bracelet (thanks, Sheaffer!), and a delicate arrow bangle (thanks, Angi!)
Are you a fan of mixing up patterns? Do you have a stripe addiction, too?

Stripes with florae? never though it could work, but YOU DID CASSIE! love it!
I need to plan a date night so I can try this fun look!
Must admit I'm totally diggin it. I love pattern mixing but have never incorporated floral. Consider me inspired!
SO cute! Love this!
I think this might be my favorite one ever!
I agree with Katie Lee . . one of my all time favorites. So darling. I am a huge fan of mixing stripes and florals. You look beautiful!

I love the places that you find outfit information 🙂
You look amazing! And I love that you match up outfit inspiration with decor inspiration. I never would have thought to mix stripes and florals, but you look so cute that I may just have to try it! 🙂

That floral makes me even more ready for spring! My outfit post today has black and white stripes, but I hadn't thought to combine it with floral. So classic, love the way you added the floral feminine touch!
Stripes are a weakness/addiction for me…and come to think of it, florals are way up there for me, too…so let's just call this addiction perfection and I'll get to my Crazy Prints Addiction Anonymous meeting, m'kay? (c;
Eeeeee!!!! I'm giddy over this combo, and the way you pulled it together is INSANE it's so perfect. Well done Cassie, well done 🙂
I discovered you through Our Fifth House, and have been loving your blog! I love your style. The way you put things together is amazing, and I would never have the nerve! And I consider myself pretty mixy matchy! Great blog!
thanks so much, Nicki! Welcome and thanks for reading!!
First of all, YOU'RE WELCOME for the bracelet! Secondly, I adore this combo. You look DARLING!
This outfit is perfection. I'm a huge fan of mixing patterns in outfits and the house. I'm mixing a leopard rug with floral pillows in our living room!
Super cute! Do the people you work with love to see what you'll wear next? I'll bet you're quite the trend-setter! 🙂
Ha — thank you, April! I think they probably think I need to tone it down! 🙂
Why have I never mixed stripes and floral before? Love this outfit!
Ha! This is a great outfit and I'm not just saying that because I wore the exact same one only reversed today – I had a floral top (Target) with a striped skirt. Love the mix of floral and stripe. I am also obsessed with your sweater but I do-not-need-another-striped-top. That is meant to be a stern lecture to myself, not to you. 🙂
LOVE this mix of patterns. I like how the fresh orange works with the more serious black. You look great!
I love your inspiration photos and how you are able to incorporate them into an outfit. This look is so cute and so are you!
YOU are the cutest. I love stripes with florals. Way to hit it out of the park. 😉
Oh my goodness! This is SO HAPPENING! I love the combo, and since starting school again, I need some cute outfit ideas. The casual Mom wear is not cutting it. Thanks 🙂
Liked your floral skirt..:)

Could you get any cuter?? Seriously you are adorable. I love this outfit, I need to get crazy and mix some patterns!!
Gorgeous outfit! This is my favorite way to mix patterns!
I'm totally obsessed with stripes right now…and polka dots. Floral and stripes is actually one of my favorite combos. Sometimes I feel like a kid playing dress up if I'm all florals – like you said, the stripes give it an edge.

Stripes and florals are my latest obsession, as I'm sitting here in a striped shirt with floral pocket. Can't get enough! Love the way you wore it! 🙂
