One of my biggest personal challenges when it comes to putting together outfits (besides the obvious) is pattern mixing. I have made a point to make this phenomenon a more regular thing and I would like to think that I have become more adept at it as this personal style blog has progressed. One of the things that I always count on when pattern mixing is the ease of utilyzing more classic patterns: argyle, animal print, polks dots, pinstripes, brenton stripes, actually any kind of stripes but, I digress... I have started to rely heavily on these prints in my pattern mixing attempts and today is no exception!
- Top: cream, yellow, and brown argyle sweater, GAP
- Bottom: gray pencil skirt, New York and Company (this could be a Wardrobe Workhorse as well)
- Shoes & Accessories: silver beaded flip flops (because apparently they might be allowed at work according to our new policy handbook. I'm waiting for someone to tell me different) Xhiliration via Target; green and black striped infinity scarf, Forever 21/BF gift from my awesome friend Alex. Sorry, I didn't get a detail shot of this but, it looks really cute; silver bead earrings, Tiffany & Co. (another Wardrobe Workhorse); blue Foley + Corrina City Clutch gifted via Plaza Too (the same goes for this)
Items from this outfit are previously seen here, here, here, here, here and here:
I have some outfits that I default to when my life gets really busy or my schedule is especially hectic, and now that I think of it, they tend to be comprised of my workhorses!
ReplyDeleteI do love argyle, but I don't own any. Maybe I should consider it!
