Style Steal: Stripes & Plaid

I have been pretty passionate about pattern play since I was first introduced to it a year or two ago. I remember when it used to be taboo; something that you wore on opposite day at school. Now it is a growing trend and seen in all aspects of fashion. Today we are going to be looking at the fun winter combination of stripes and plaid.

I think this look is just perfect. I love the layers and the variety of colors, but the best part (IMO) is the simplicity of it.

Below you will find two options for lifting this look: Option A for my brand snob fashionistas and Option B for my budget savvy style divas.

Option A:
Women's Cardigan Sweater, Eddie Bauer, $49.99
Turtleneck, JCrew Factory, $29.99
AG Skinny Jean, Revolve, $178
Red Plaid Scarf, Lulus, $22
Pebble Grain Satchel, Dooney & Bourke, $198
Total: $477.98

Option B:
Flyaway Cardigan, JCP, $24.99
Turtleneck, Kohls, $11.99
Super Skinny Jeans, Old Navy, $15
Checked Scarf, Zara, $12.99
Kenneth Cole Satchel, Boscov's, $39.99
Total: $104.96

So which one do you prefer? Note that prices may vary due to sales, but I think the lower option is freaking phenomenal! I am swooning for that purse most of all.
