Today's Everyday Fashion: Crazy Stripes

I wanted the look of a striped dress without actually owning a striped dress, so I got creative in my closet and put together this top and skirt. They don't exactly match - the skirt is navy and ivory and the shirt is black and ivory - so those are some crazy stripes! This outfit is a little more rock-n-roll than my usual style but I have to say I dig it for a concert or a night out. Would you wear mixed stripes?

A note on the jacket: it has unfinished hems, which I love the look of, but yesterday I noticed it's unraveling in one place (some sequins are coming off). I never want to mislead anyone in their purchase so please beware of this little factoid if you are considering buying it! :-) I still recommend it ($15 is a steal), and I plan to keep wearing it after trimming off the loose sequins.
