day three: pattern mix


Oh dear. This one was hard. I own very few things with a pattern. Like a total of maybe three things in my whole closet. I love this striped maxi dress. It's so easy to wear. Usually I pair it with a more weather appropriate white short sleeved cardigan. I never would have thought to put the pink with it, but you know what? I like it. Too bad it's a million degrees outside and I would die the moment I stepped out of my air conditioned house. I will have to revisit this outfit during the more cardigan friendly month of November.

Looks great!
If that dress is from Old Navy, I have the same one. I bought it in San Diego in June and wore it the entire trip; love it.

I think this is adorable!

I agree with ya. This would be more run in the fall. Can't we just wear light weight t's and shorts or skirts all summer and call it fashionable?

I had a similar problem, a lot of my patterned clothing is fall/winter type stuff! And it actually decided to be nice today...go figure! Love that cardigan!

This is my favorite outfit today. It totally works. It would be the perfect thing for me to wear in August where I'm at in the Pacific NW! We're lacking sunshine. =)
