Neon Stripes



Old Navy Sweater and Boots. gifted Top from Threadcase. Alexander Wang Shorts. DIY Necklace. Linda Farrow for The Row Sunglasses.

 This cozy striped sweater is the perfect neon / neutral mix, and thankfully a lot less reminiscent of 'Where's Waldo' than I had originally thought. I added polka dots, a touch of leather, and a DIY necklace for a casual stroll through campus to grab an iced tea.

Absolutely love this outfit, huge fan of mixing patterns myself. The small polka dots play so nicely with the bold striped :)

The bold stripes and dots make such a perfect combination! And the leather is just the right amount of edginess.

You always manage to make even inexpensive clothes look like designer brands...and that's a true talent! Loving all this Old Navy stuff; I was considering the black and white version of this sweater for myself!

Usually I love Gap and am just iffy on Old Navy, but these season I'm exactly the opposite. Love all of ON's whimsical patterns... Gap's newest merch, not so much.

I love that DIY necklace! And you're right, the sweater is definitely the perfect mix of neutral and neon! I can't believe you got both the sweater and boots at OldNavy, never would have guessed:]
