Mixing Prints

One of my favorite things to do to liven up a simple color palette is to mix prints.

Blouse:  The Limited
Jacket:  The Limited

The black and beige color palette is simple, but adding in the print of the top, the textured design of the wedge heel, and the zebra pattern on the purse, creates a more nuanced look that is infinitely more interesting than black and beige alone.

The citrine yellow of the purse adds a fun pop of color. This purse was a total impulse buy, but I thought it was way too cool to pass up.  I can't wait to wear it with a ton of different outfits this summer!

I don't always like wedge heels, but I love the peep-toe design of these.  I do love how wedges add height without the discomfort of stilettos.

Pattern Play

Today's look is inspired by spring.  The nautical stripes on the top, floral scarf, and fresh navy, white and green color palette all make me think of spring.

Mixing patterns has been a trend the last season or so and will be continuing into this spring.  

Purse:  The Limited

The top and scarf have a somewhat casual feel, but the navy trousers help dress the look up enough for work.  I added a matching navy blazer for work since it was rather chilly.

I love the tassels on the scarf!!!
