threads / stripes and dots

along Jalan Green in Penang

(ern stop slouching) 

we love us some patterns. there is virtually no way anyone can walk out of the house in stripes or polks and not look deathly cute/or be reminded not to take themselves too seriously. 

you can work your prints from entire apparels to appendages like brooches or ribbons. sometimes the best way to pair a patterned piece is with ANOTHER patterned piece. but if you are of the more conservative camp / wish not to look like a 8-legged washi tape crawlie spun a web on you, try out a dull colour and a stand out patterned cardigan or block colour on monochrome pattern; yin on yang/fire on ice
