Lovely Layers


This week's lovely layers Friday's Fancies theme is perfect because I have a layered bracelet up for grabs right now. Be sure to enter my Valentine's giveaway for your chance to win a pretty stack bracelet!

 And now for a little fashion layering. I layer on the regular but I am afraid to mix prints. I think it looks great on others but I never have the guts. This is a tame way to ease into it I think. And the pieces are pretty basic so I think it's pretty do-able with wardrobe. Do you mix patterns?

Lovely Layers


Have a great weekend! See you back here Monday for Weekend Update.

I love hot pink skinnies and I cannot get enough of the leopard print anything. So those flats are my fave. I had an issue with mixing prints, too, but I finally dove in. I'm okay with it as long as the prints aren't too loud.

I'm having my very first give away! Come check it out when you get a chance!

I love the pants! I dont really like the mixing patterns trend..usually.

Ann said...

I'm with you on mixing patterns,
I'm quite shy on that
I don't know how other people seem to do it effortlessly and beautifully.

Cute bracelet.

I'm a "solid" kind of girl, so I usually steer clear of the patterns. However, that's a total lie because I just realized I bought a navy and white striped sweater from Banana Republic last weekend. I may mix it with my leopard print flats after you posted this... you shall see in my weekend update! ;-)

Gosh dang, this is a really cute outfit! I kinda love all of it!

Oh and I totally mix patterns when I feel like it, but that's totally not all the time.

Leopard flats and hot pink jeans? Amazing. That necklace too. It's all so perfect!

Allison said...

I'm scared of print mixing too. So many people do it so well, but I am afraid I'll look like a total 90's reject or somethign.
But seriously - those hot pink skinnies?! YES, PLEASE.

i agree on the mixing prints- I dont think it matches at all rather to me it clashes. Im the type where everything has to exactly match. That MK bag is all over new york!

Kathrin@shopschoolsleep said...
