Today I visited one of my favorite local boutiques. I came in search of a gift, but I found so much more. I discovered a trend I love and maybe you do, too. Temple’s Brickwood Boutique had an assortment of fall clothing. But it was the prints that caught my attention: polka dots and stripes. Who doesn’t love those?

These are the two cutest girls ever–working at the shop! (And even cuter in their dots and stripes!)

Polka Dots make me so HAPPY! And stripes are very classic sporty. Don’t we all have some of these in our own closets?

Loved these velvet flats. How chic would this top be with jeans and these shoes!

I know Janna wrote about this pale blue/brown combination in Quintessential Style (page 58). But, I have never actually worn these two colors together, but the look is so sophisticated. Don’t you agree? I am going to try this. (Especially good for light brights who want to wear something autumnal.)

Yes, I know it’s not sweater weather in Texas yet, but we are all counting down. Can’t wait to feel the chill and cuddle up in one of these!

This polka dot jean jacket is the bomb! You can wear this updated classic any time of the year.
Everywhere I turned in the store, there were dots and stripes. It made me so happy–and a little dizzy!

Love a casual dress like this one. And these neutral, low-profile sneakers will go with everything.
I even found a check print amongst the stripes and dots!

Love this, too. But, checks are for another blog!
So ladies–if you love these prints like I do (and I know my Aunt Donna does)–go shop in your own closet (or go to Brickwood) and see what you can find.

Girls, thanks again for your help!
