You are one bold & beautiful pattern mixer! It's funny, when I first looked at your pics, the top of your body was cut off in #2, and I LOVED the combo. Then I enlarged the photos and saw what you saw: the black & white stripes are fab, and the diagonal striping at the neckline works perfectly with the skirt pattern, too--but it does nothing wonderful for your rounded shoulders. I recently bought a cropped black & striped white jersey with drop-shouldered sleeves. I love how it extends the shoulders & balances the hips. A striped top like that might be a better choice for you, too, if you can find one. If not, don't worry about it too much; it's still a great mix.

Hi tulle. I like the idea of drop shouldered sleeves. That could work really well. It's funny that you said 'your round shoulders' because I actually have quite square shoulders so the top was creating an optical illusion of sorts.

I returned it today and bought another one....although I'm not 100% certain of it either.
