Uncolorblocking with Polka Dots and Stripes

Colorblocking seems to be all the rage these days and I will be the first to say that it makes styling an outfit easy, but sometimes you just yearn for a pattern or print or design.

What I like best about working in stripes and dots is that they are timeless.  When have they ever gone out of style?  Never?  And for a Muslim wardrobe, modest in style and modest in budget, it's nice to have pieces that carry forward.


Wondering what to mix in with all your color-blocked basics?  Any of these stripes or polka dots or spotted tops and shirtdresses and dresses acting as tops will do!  Like the women in photos 1 and 2, add a belt to add a border, or let it all hang out as Keiko Lynn does in her oversized sweater style.
