Guys, guys, guys, I mixed patterns for the first time. For a girl whose pajamas must match and who wishes she could take a sick day every time Wacky Tacky day rolls around during spirit week, this is a BIG deal. It's subtle and it's pretty neutral, but look at that floral scarf and striped dress.
And, no, my legs aren't THAT white. I just opted for ivory tights this morning.
Forgive this post if it's formatted weirdly. I am multi tasking by typing this in my phone as I wait for the dentist to call me back. Time management at its best, folks. Wish me luck that I don't have to schedule root canal number 8. Ugh. Damn teeth grinding and autoimmune disorder.
My body hates me, but my clothes love me.
Dress: Banana Republic Outlet
Blazer: LOFT via thredUP
Boots: Steve Madden's Barton boot via eBay
Scarf: gift from my cute niece! She did well, right? :)
Cardigan: Old Navy
Love this blazer and way to go on the pattern mixing.

Ah yes, pattern mixing is much easier when the two patterns aren't touching each other I think. Good for you! Your new blazer is a great find!
ReplyDeleteI really like this outfit, Danielle! Way to go on your pattern mixing - I'm similar to you, in that I really can't handle extreme pattern mixing. The first time I did it, I wore a striped skirt with a leopard print scarf, and I felt like such a badass. This is how lame my life is, ha! I have gotten like 2% more adventurous now, but I still tend to think pattern mixing is kind of awkward and too mismatched, in general. I think you did it really well, here. Stripes and florals are probably my favorite pattern mixing combo, and I love that you kept it in the same color family :) And yes, your niece did VERY well with your scarf - it is adorable!
