Ask anyone on the street what she thinks when she hears stripes, and nine times out of ten, she'll answer Beetlejuice, mimes, and/or old-timey prisoners.  But if you said plaid, then he'd answer Scots, schoolgirls, and Christmas.  (It's not lost on me that the "she" changed to a "he" just in time for the schoolgirls.)  So two prints, two worlds, one dark and dangerous and the other straight from Norman Rockwell.  Still, both are undeniably classics.  And here I am in both, in one outfit at the same time. (Yes, that's a lipstick shooting up from the dead plant.  Apparently, makeup brightens more than faces.)  

If that doesn't say here comes trouble, then I don't know what does.      

No, wait.  I do.  It's Beetlejuice wearing a kilt and brandishing a Christmas tree.  

Damn you, Michael Keaton.  You win every time.

The lipstick, LOL!!!! The mix of stripes and plaid looks totally cool! The colorful headband with the black and white ensemble is so striking, as are the blue heels with the red, black and white outfit! The rainbow sweater with the emoji bag is the perfect pair. The cherry pie barrette is so cute and the Geometric Jam necklace makes me think of a trendy 1980's mall. ❤️

Mum would love those animal print heels if she was still able to get into them, lol. Whereas I'm a boot gal.
