Stripes are oddly enough my go-to pattern and I have actively tried to stay away from them. In my search for patterns, I have found that it is difficult to fall in love with what patterns are created for the masses. Fashion, Friendly & Frugal prices do not always mean wearable and interesting prints and patterns. More times than not, I have found that the more expensive the brand and/or designer, the better the pattern. Flowers are something I have avoided, but not in the way that I am trying to avoid stripes. Maybe Spring has brought out the floral designs for the masses, but the way frugal designers are doing flowers right now is perfection. Hence, the entire reason why my shopping bag is full of fresh flowers!
Stay away from small, congested floral patterns and try something on a larger scale. Look for vintage-inspired prints and interesting color schemes. Flowers can be very Fashion, Friendly & Frugal, you just have to know how to work them into your individual wardrobe and style. There is a flower pattern for every price range and until I can afford something as beautifully patterned as Diane Von Furstenberg, Blumarine, or Etro, I will continue to keep an eye out for frugal prints -other than stripes!
