Last week I got to go out with the girls for dinner and to check out a new wine shop, bar, etc. that one of my very talented friends had been the interior designer for. It was a delightful time and I was pretty excited to wear this outfit. Most of my clothes are for work, church, or general casual weekend wear. I don't go "out" much these days, so trying to do dressy-cute seems to be hard for me. I was looking through my pins and saw Annie's pin which by the way is my favorite look of hers, and this pin which I've been drooling over for awhile and I came up with today's look. I really like it with my boyfriend jeans and heels, and am definitely looking forward to wearing again. Although my outfit's not exactly the same as the pins, I feel it's important to give credit where credit is do. Fran wrote a really great post on this recently that's definitely worth checking out.

I also have this outfit pinned, but have not yet tried to combine the floral with stripes. Nice job, looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you combined the two prints. It's nice and subtle, but give you that pop of flair. :) Cute!

ReplyDeleteTotally loving your mix of prints! Great outfit lady.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have much occasion to "go out" and dress up nice for it either, so I struggle too. But you totally got it right! I love the fun pattern mixing and boyfriend jeans + heels is a great combination!

ReplyDeleteSpent too much time surfing on Pinterest because of those links... I realize now that you and I like similar outfits. I am not one for drastic pattern mixing, but I adore the black and white stripes over the floral :)
