Two more days of baby steps in pattern mixing. I'm really surprised by how much fun I'm having with my snake print bag. I get compliments on it almost every day. Wearability + compliments = definitely a great purchase.
I wore these outfits yesterday and today.
The colorful floral blouse is one that my husband loves. Me, not so much. The frill plus sweet colors feel a little too sweet and I think the cut is okay, but really a little too long in the torso for me. If I had been thinking, I would have bought it in petite instead of regular. I don't think it is bad enough to move to the donate pile, but maybe I should just practice tough love and get rid of it. I love the trousers for their great neutral pattern. It doesn't come through very well in the photo, so I posted a close up. Snake + floral + textured pattern feels like a lot going on, so I didn't wear patterned shoes. They felt like too many small things happening in one outfit. The shoes I wore look black in the photo, but they are actually a nice taupe. Baby steps in pattern mixing!
The second outfit has a blouse that I fell in love with when Emily posted it. I hope she bought it, because it is definitely fun. I think the outfit looks nice, but could use a little color. My fuchsia wedges were too much, though. Plum would look nice, I think. I plan to wear the top with plum jeans this fall, but I'm in the wear it now club, so I broke the top out early. The tank is sewn in at the straps, but maybe I should cut it free and substitute a plum one?
Looking forward to comments and suggestions!
