Stripes and more Stripes

Hi Lovelies!
I continue to try different combos with my tiny wardrobe. Here is my latest effort.

Green jacket
black and white LLBEAN boatneck
black jeans
black biker boots
black and white striped jersy scarf from talbots
white watch
black and white dangle earrings

Is the scarf and top too much! Does it all look ok together? Opinions and suggestions gratefully accepted.

Funky Orange Bowling Shirt

Happy Sunday lovely YLFR'S!
I picked up this thrifted retro shirt (sort of bowling shirt silhouette). I love the color and pattern so I wanted to see if I could incorporate this into my wardrobe since I am trying to work more color and pattern into my mostly neutral outfits. I tried it in various ways and wanted to post them to get opinions. Is it too crazy looking with the scarf? Should I just wear it with the necklace? Does it flatter me?

I am grateful for feedback!

Basic outfit is orange top,
Navy blue Talbots cardi
WHBM blue jeans
black biker boots
bead and locket necklace
Eddie Bauer khaki field jacket
striped orange and white scarf

Happy Friday -Working a Green and Brown outfit

Good morning lovely YLFR'S and happy Friday to all of you. Today the sun is actually shining and it is not supposed to snow! Yay!!! I recently purchased some thrift store shirts with the intention of getting more pattern and color into my wardrobe (other than scarves). The top I am wearing today I teamed up a few days ago with a yellow cardigan. I intend to also try it with navy and with my light green jean jacket as well as under some vnecks and scoop neck tops. I am looking for extending the mileage as much as I can. Today I am wearing it with brown which I think looks fine although not stellar. The outfit components are listed below:

green and brown paisley button down shirt (thrifted)
green three quarter length cardigan (Dress barn)
brown cords (Kohls)
brown knee high boots (ColdWater Creek) I actually wanted to tuck these but too bunchy looking - need to find some straight or skinnier jeans
khaki field jacket (Eddie Bauer) It's rumpled but is supposed to look that way
blue cross hatched scarf (American Eagle)

As always I value your comments and suggestions!

retro blue shirt. Does this work with the sweater? K/R

Hello lovely ladies,
I thrifted a cobalt blue retro pattern shirt last weekend that I have teamed with this dusty pink sweater and black, jeans, black boots, and black multistrand necklace. I think the shirt works fine with this and I really want to wear it with my new yellow BR cardigan. It might even work with my green denim jacket. Opinions and other styling options welcome. I'm still trying to make it be spring here in Boise, but I just felt a few flakes of snow! Bummer!! :(
