Bright and Cheerful

Lately I have kind of been in a funk. It is really hard to explain and I don't want to get into too many details on the blog, but things have been more than stressful lately. Because I wanted to try and put some of those thoughts out of my mind, I really wanted a bright and cheery outfit yesterday when I got out of bed. I decided this new yellow skirt (that I snagged for $6) would be a great way to add some flair into my outfit.

Besides just a brightly colored skirt, I knew I had to throw on one of my favorite patterns: polka dots. It is almost impossible to be sad while wearing polka dots so I knew this outfit was just what I needed to get through a long day. This bright outfit plus some flowers from the bf were a perfect way to start the day.

What do you wear to cheer yourself up?

Risk Taker

Today I took a big risk: mixing patterns. I keep seeing this trend all over but have been so nervous to try it! I tend to wear a lot of solid colors so the thought of mixing patterns was a little overwhelming. I decided to try a solid yellow pattern with polka dots. The pattern in the skirt has big flowers and I love the way it contrasts with the black polka dots. This look is not something I would normally wear but I am so glad that I did. Fashion is all about taking risks and I think the rewards definitely paid off today.
What do you think: How do you mix patterns?
