Stripes, Missoni Style

Stripes, geometrics and abstract florals. These three (very often) colourful patterns are what the Missoni design house is all about. These patterns are instantly recognisable as a Missoni design. I am not fortunate enough to have anything lust worthy from Missoni, so I have to opt for high street copies. I know, not great, but if a gal wants fussy stripes in her wardrobe, well, then a gal (on a minimum wage pay cheque) will buy anything to fill the void in her wardrobe. Obviously when I say gal, I mean me!

Last year, H&M were doing some fantastic Missoni inspired pieces, so when I saw that jacket below, I grabbed it and ran to the tills. With the trousers, I was more hesitant. I hummed and hawed in the shop (Primark, of course!) for quite some time. In the end, I had to make the purchase. They are different, I love the pattern and I can't wait to wear them. Preferably, I would wear them with five inch heels and a cool leather jacket.

The material and pattern in my two high street copies wouldn't be a patch (obviously) on the material that Missoni use, but hey, you pay for what you get. What do you think of my Missoni-esque buys? In general, do you like the crazy stripes and geometrics that Missoni use?
