Mixing Patterns

Some people are afraid to mix prints or patterns... I don't know why though! To me, it's just another way to pretty much guarantee that you'll be the only one wearing that outfit. I tried tucking in my top to my skirt, but it just didn't look right... so I tried the belt and liked the way it accentuated my waist and brought the yellow in the skirt out.

I have no idea where my top is from to be honest, it was a Salvation Army find in the spring ($4!).  If you're willing to do some searching, the Salvation Army, Good Will, and consignment shops have some pretty awesome things for very little money... so take some time to look through those cluttered racks! The skirt is from Forever 21, but since I bought it in the winter it was super cheap. Style tip #2: Always try and buy out-of-season clothes and accessories, they're usually discounted and most styles will continue to the next years season anyways.

This necklace is one of my creations! Bib necklaces are so fun (especially under a collared shirt), and come in SO many different styles. I was on a huge jewelry-making kick in high school (which would still be happening if my jewelry supplies didn't way a gajillion pounds), and as a result I made a bunch of different types of jewelry. *Stay tuned, because obvi I wear it all*

This bag is everything... and it matches everything... so naturally I will be using it all the time, heads up friends. 

My sandals are actually another good find! And by that I mean a college friend didn't want them anymore so I got them... AKA freeee shoes! The yellow is sometimes hard to match but since it's my favorite color, I make it work. 

Also, I dyed my hair last night (props to Terri!) and actually really like the black a lot... what do you think?! *hair flip*
