Wiw: summer pattern mix

Brooklyn

Veteran

I am I into pattern mixing at the moment. If I had read Angie's post first, I would have tried a different colour bag. Too warm for toppers. Definitely not as maximal as Angie's version but it felt bold and fun. It is VERY hot here.
Your thoughts welcome.

Your outfit is lovely as ever.
I'm always interested to hear about the weather in far off lands.
We are facing -25C weather today. That's very cold, even by Canadian standards!

Killer Gorgeous. (Do you tire of me saying that?)

Like the ombre in your hair too. And your smile is the golden cherry on top. LOVE.

This is so perfect - you are incredibly stunning. Lucky you with a slim , toned bod too I love this kind of confident pattern mixing. I have this same skirt and won't even pretend to be able to wear it with a body-con top, but your photos are sure inspirational. Love the fact too that you've not worn the predictable black shoe and went with metallic. I can't wait for summer!

Angie, how could anyone get sick of that? Thank you. And for the comment on my hair. It's back to curly wurly today. Humidity is brutal.
Smittie, thanks. It's 43 here today (that's about 110f). I am taking Ms B for a swim shortly. Can't imagine -25!
Thanks CWS. Love your enthusiasm.
Ands thanks J. You are so quick off the mark!

Thanks Lisa. We cross posted. The metallic shoes are new look for me. Your responses are always so positive - a real confidence booster.

Great look! I have a similar skirt but haven't worn it all winter. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can put together a similar outfit.

Awesome pattern mix! i love your jewelry with it too.

Aw, thanks Angie. The thing about my curls is when they are good, they are very very good, but when they are bad they are horrid
Thanks Sara. Have we seen the skirt? Mine is a heavy cotton and I can wear it all year around. I love that kind of graphic pattern.
Thanks Diana!

What a great outfit. You look chic and stunning! I love the two prints together, and the addition of the slatted metallic sandals, which adds another pseudo-pattern!

Oh, and I really, really admire how stylish you manage to look in the heat! Very hot weather just tends to wilt my style.

Looks wonderful. Love black and white. Especially like the cuff. Could be in a fashion magazine!

This is really fun. I like the black, white and metallic.

Thanks for the inspiration- I love the kitchen sink look but also live in a climate too hot for multiple layers.

Brooklyn

Veteran

Thanks aloha emily! And welcome!
Thanks Bonnie, Scarlet, Aquamarine, Ledonna, Jenni and Delurked.
FC, thanks! Black and white does feel fresh (to me) in the heat. But I can assure you I do wilt. It is Saturday afternoon here and I have been outdoors. I have worn 2 tops today and am thinking about changing to a third. I don't think I need to explain why!

lucylove

gosh, that skirt is divine on you! You look adorable, and the smile really makes the outfit

Absolutely stunning - the skirt and top look like they were made to go together! Sorry to hear about the heat, extreme temperatures are not much fun, hope Mrs B enjoyed her swim.

Thanks Manny and lucylove.
Thanks Bijou. I hope the weather is better on your side! Here's my baby
