Hi Lovelies!

First, I must say…that is a big bun. I never realized just how big my hair is until I started this blog. Wow…lol! Anyways, that is besides the point:) I have really been wanting to try mixing patterns, but have been terrified that I will do it all wrong and look like a fool. I’ve tried patterned scarves with a striped top before, but I have never gone as far as I did today and I love it. I went through my entire closet trying to find the perfect patterns and items to mix and this is what I ended with. Pretty cute, right? I even came up with a few good “rules” I think are key in making pattern mixing work.

1. Pick the right patterns. I may be wrong, and I am sure there is someone out there who would be able to pull it off…but a plaid shirt with floral pants….probably would not be the best way to try pattern mixing. Lol.

2. Don’t use more than 2 patterns. Adding a patterned cardigan over this outfit would be the point where it stops looking cute…

3. Use the same color family. A red, white, and blue top with green and orange pants would most likely look as though someone vomited…

Get The Look:
Top: Delia’s (Similar)
Skirt & Belt: Ross (Similar)
Necklace & Bracelets: Charming Charlie (Similar)
Handbag: Lulu by Lulu Guinness for JCPenney
Heels: Charming Charlie (Similar)

I still feel as though I went a little towards the safe side this time. Next time I really want to try mixing with different colors and maybe add a little bit of floral!

Have you tried any pattern mixing of your own? How did it turn out?

Until tomorrow…

It’s that time again! Time for my Groopdealz picks of the week! This week I put together an outfit with some of the items I found…What do you think? I personally would pick the black accessories with the light pink peplum, the black would really help to bring that pale pink color into the cooler weather:)

Necklace– $5.99
Earrings– $3.99

Hi Lovelies!

This is another one of those outfits I can’t wear to work. You may be asking why. Well, because I work with a bunch of men. Why does that matter? As I explained here, men just don’t understand fashion. The last time I wore this top in public I had 5 women tell me they loved it. I also had a man tell me I was “too sparkly”, another told me I looked like I was “attacked by a 5 year old’s art project”, and another man just said “Whoa!”. It’s funny how men usually don’t notice anything, but the moment you wear sequin sleeves you get three comments in one day. I will never understand….Well, I guess I will just have to save this one for the weekends and parties…but oh, how I love it:)

Get The Look:
Denim: TJ Maxx (Similar)
Top: Charming Charlie
Clutch: Charming Charlie (Similar)
Necklace and Earrings: Charming Charlie
Sunglasses: Aldo
Shoes: Charming Charlie (expensive, but similar)

Thankfully for me, my husband gets fashion a little more than the average man. He also understands that I dress for myself…not for him. That, or he just knows not to open his mouth and tell me he thinks I look ridiculous:) What a good hubby I have.

Until tomorrow…
