The golden/camel color of the stripes in this sweater has become one of my favorite colors - I think it looks great with everything - so when I saw this sweater at H&M last fall, I fell in love instantly. Until yesterday, though, I hadn't worn it because I had a difficult time styling it. The scarf and sweater combination came together accidentally when I had clothes and accessories strewn across my bed, and I think they look pretty great together. I threw on black denim instead of blue because black and camel is another one of my favorite color combos. All in all, I like the way this outfit turned out, but if you have any other suggestions for how to style this sweater, I'd love to hear them!

  1. This is one of my FAVORITE outfits of yours! Loving the colors - and the dots - I have a mild obsession with dots. Great job pattern mixing :)

  2. Aren't those accidental pairings the best? That happens to me all the time. I am not someone who is a natural pattern mixer.  I could also see your look working with a denim (chambray) shirt popping out underneath for added layers/warmth. I don't know what's going on with your weather up there though; we're suppose to reach the mid 50s today. HEAT WAVE!

    I love the print mixing! I think the sweater would look great with a black skirt and golden brown boots as well.

  4. I LOVE these colors and that scarf is adorable :)

    You could maybe try belting the sweater with a skirt, or layering a button-up underneath?

  5. Oh I love how you styled it!! I remember seeing this sweater at H&M and finding it so cute. My go-to with all of my striped tops is a simple gold chain with a tiny locket or a string of long pearls, but the scarf is just adorable.

  16. I knew I was going to love this outfit when I read the title.  Dots AND stripes?!  Yes please.  This is a great combo.  I bet that sweater would look lovely with a chambray top as well.
