Everyone prepare yourself, I’m about to do something CRAZY! Ok, not really crazy, just crazy FOR ME. I’m going to mix patterns. Well, um sort of.
Boy all of this build up for something so ridiculous. You see, I saw this photo on pinterest the other day and I thought — hey, that doesn’t looks so bad. Maybe I could try that.
And because it was stripes on stripes, we all know my closet was clearly fueled with some ammunition.
Now my version was not quite as fashion-y, but surprisingly I feel pretty comfortable in it even though it is (OMG) two! different! patterns!
Here’s What I Wore:
Sweater: Gap Outlet
Shirt: Banana Republic Factory Store
Jeans: Gap Slim Boyfriend
Necklace: Banana Republic
Pewter Flats: Target
Bracelet: You’ve seen this one a million times. I like it, I guess.
I asked Garrett to take a detail shot so you could see the stripes-on-stripes effect and this is what he took — the boy is many things but detailed-fashion-shots for the blog are not his area of expertise…
Not a detail of my face, babe! A detail of the shirts!
“But a detail of your face is cuter.”
And then I did of the obnoxious adorableness. Feel free to barf. I might actually miss taking silly outfit photos in the morning when this little project is over.
We have absolutely no idea what we are doing, but hey at least we are having fun pretending!

What did you wear today?
Join the group and play a little show and tell.
I like the mixing patterns thing. Way to embrace it!
You would think I was performing open heart surgery with the amount of anxiety I had about it. But now — bring on the paisley and polka dots! (well…maybe not THAT ready.)
Stripes on stripes. Lika.
Right? I mean, baby steps here…. ;p
Aw, that is a really cute picture of you. And I am now going to have to try the stripe-on-stripe myself…
Oh my goodness – this is so cute! I love the stripes on stripes. Now I must read the whole series. Tomorrow… my head is nodding.
