OOTD - Floral Blazer and Stripes

Does it ever happen to you, when you get something in your head that you would like to have and then proceed to search madly for it?  For me, I feel as though I'm always involved in some sort of clothing scavenger hunt and lately my object of choice has been a floral blazer.  I've had a strong craving to add florals to my wardrobe and after deciding that a floral blazer was an absolute must have - and scouring every mall or online shop that I could think of - I finally found the perfect one.  This Rihan floral blazer from Anthropologie is so beautiful and boasts such rich colours,perfect for Fall - and it's on sale!  Read on to see how I styled this floral blazer with stripes for some serious pattern mixing

What do you think about the mixing of florals and stripes?  Personally, I'm into it - I love unexpected mixes of patterns and the effect it has on the eyes.  Mixing patterns is fairly new to me, and I would love to know of any other patterns that you mix with one another in your daily outfits.

What do you think about mixing florals with stripes?  Which patterns do you love to mix with one another?  Let me know!

Have a great start to your week,
