Today's Everyday Fashion: Stripe Swap






































You know that saying "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"? I think that applies in fashion too. I loved pairing this black and ivory striped shirt with brown, as seen previously in this outfit. So today I did a similar look with just enough changes to make this outfit feel brand new! 

Styling tip: Don't feel like you have to re-invent the wheel everytime you get dressed. Take an idea you love - such as a black and white print paired with brown, or a unique color combo, and change a couple of accessories to give you the feeling of a new outfit all together.

Cardigan: Gap, $18
Shirt: TJ Maxx, $13
Belt: H&M, $20
Jeans (left): Gap, $15
Shorts (right): American Eagle, $30
Necklace: Forever 21, $8
Watch: Michael Kors, family gift
Bracelets: Forever 21, $8
Shoes: c/o Chinese Laundry

    Kimberly, I usually get my CL shoes from DSW for $40 - I would check there in a few months! :-)

    I like both of these. They are even better than your first look, in my opinion. Love the necklace!

    The top is silky, I think it's polyester. I got it about 3 months ago!
