PATTERNS

I know a lot of you are afraid to mix patterns. Don't be; you can have so much fun mixing patterns.  Mixing patterns is simple if you following these eight simple rules.

1. Mix patterns from the same color family: Use hues from one main color when mixing patterns, creating a very subtle look, while still showing your daring side. It’s still visually stimulating for the eye, but in a refined way.
2. Think of some patterns/textures as solids:  Think of a houndstooth, small polka dots, thin stripes, or checks as a solid. They’re small enough and understated that the eye can view them as a solid, even though they’re really not
3. Look for patterns that complement each other:  Stripes and floral always mesh well, as do leopard and stripes or polka dots.
4. Don't go to matchy-matchy:  Don’t go out head-to-toe in one pattern
5. Space the patterns out.
6. Include neutrals in your outfit:  Add a solid with two or more patterns to allow the visual space of the outfit to be broken up
7. Combine patterns of different densities/sizes:  Mix a dense print with a sparse print or a larger print with a smaller print.
8. Use accessories wisely:  Use a colored belt to break up two different patterned pieces as can colored shoes or a neutral purse.

Fashion is supposed to be daring. So, gone on and mix those patterns girl!

YELLOW!

I was feeling over the moon today after spending another wonderful evening with my love and wanted to wear a color that symbolized how I was feeling.  The only color I know that could adequately express this emotion is yellow.  Yellow means joy and happiness.  Yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love.

I paired jeans from {mon tissu} with a top from Sticky Fingers, shoes from N-core, and to complete the look, a handbag from Ricielli.

So, if you're having a "blah" kind of day, wear yellow to uplift your spirits.
