When? October 5, 2012
What for? Yay for casual Fridays! Today, to participate in this week’s Friday’s Fancies theme (“marvelous monotone”), I chose to pattern-mix a couple of black stripe patterns — and my bag also has a black-on-black pattern! I bought this jacket quite a few years ago, and have actually been struggling ever since to incorporate it more into my wardrobe. I used to wear it with only solid-color tops, but I ended up liking the effect of pairing it with horizontal black stripes.
What do you think? Should I keep the jacket, or set it free?
Details?

The jacket would also look good with some polka dots!
Thanks Erin! OBVIOUSLY I need more polka dots in my life!
