When I mix patterns, (or prints or fabrics or colors) I try to lean towards whimsical, rather than take my outfit (or myself) too seriously. I love to have fun with my clothes/accessories but when taking a “risk”, I find it’s best to be light-hearted.

What I Wore: Chevron

what I wore: dress – ann taylor, flats – go jane, bracelet – dannijo, sunglasses – asos

I love chevron. It feels really funky, I also love these comfortable green flats from go jane. Sometimes when I wear a shorter hemline to the office, I try to tone it down with flats so it’s not soooo much leg.

What I Wore: Black on Black

what I wore: dress – tj maxx, jacket – bcbg, heels – gianni bini, glasses – shop ultra, watch – bcbg, bangle – kate spade, earrings – forever 21

This outfit was a random idea I had before going to bed the night before. I thought – why don’t I tie a sash around the neck of a button down top or dress? So, I did and for once, it worked!

Silly Buddy

I just came across this adorable Etsy shop called Silly Buddy. They make custom bow tie collars, regular collars and leashes. I don’t know if I can make it through the day without purchasing one for these two.

Which one is your fave?

I love bows in hair, on shoes, on pins, on wrists, tied on a man’s (or woman’s) neck, cinching waists, wrapped on packages…you get the idea. For your consideration/inspiration, see below.
