I spent my weekend planning the perfect picnic date with my roomie. We went to the market, grabbed some delicious sandwiches, and some scrumptious cupcakes. Still enjoying all the last bits of summer. Happy August!
I have an aversion to mixing prints because I think they look too busy on me. That's not to say other ladies don't look stylish in their mixed prints; in fact, Cee at To Brighten My Day, and Bonnie at Mini Me Style rock mixed prints recently and looked quite stylish.
Generally though, I tend to experiment with colors instead of patterns. Thus, Marion's Trend of the Month Challenge--Mixing Patterns--was a great opportunity for me to step out of my fashion comfort zone.
I've had some success trying out trends that in the past, I studiously avoided (read: animal print). Style outside of your comfort zone is always a great exercise. Thanks Marion.
