When I was putting this outfit together there was a vague little voice in the back of my head saying ‘No! Lace and stripes will never work together!’. But alas, by then I was already dressed, and there was no take backsies.

You might remember this lace skirt’s previous appearance in its white incarnation a few months ago. Consider this the evil twin of that previous outfit. This time I dressed down an otherwise rather evening ready skirt with a striped t-shirt and simple jewellery.

So what’s the verdict? Is lace and stripes combination sartorial suicide, or is it so bad that it’s good?

    I quite like the juxtaposition of stripes and lace together. I love stripes and they turn an otherwise more classic and elegant look (lace pencil skirt) into a relaxed, slightly sporty, elegant look.
    Love it!

      Juxtaposition is something I always love in outfits. That’s probably why my dress sense is always a bit clashy!

      It probably would have made more sense with a plainer top, but I’m addicted to stripes right now!

    I think it’s a cute combination with the right pieces! You totally pull this look off 🙂
