Today's Everyday Fashion: Mixed Prints

Today's idea: Mixed prints are all the rage, so now is the time to experiment with whacky combinations. It will give you more mileage with your printed pieces by increasing the number of potential outfits in your closet!
More ways to wear it: Take a cue from the inspiration and pair a black and white print with a colorful one. In place of the pink accessories, you can also try a simple nude or black shoe and purse.
My take: There's a lot going on in this look, but I like the idea of making a houndstooth skirt work for spring, and a new way to wear this colorful top. I may just give it a try in a creative work environment.
Top: Piperlime, $17 (similar plus)
Skirt: Limited, $35 (similar, similar, mini)
Clutch: Gap, $16 (similar, similar)
Shoes: Limited, $25 (similar, similar)
Earrings: My Stella & Dot, $19
Pink bracelet: BaubleBar, gift
Approx. dates: Skirt, shoes and clutch are 1 year ago. Top is recent.

Bold In Roses With Ted Baker

Rose Print Dress c/o Ted Baker | Clutch c/o Ted Baker | Sunnies c/o | Heels c/o Call It Spring | Kendra Scott Cocktail Ring c/o | Link Bracelet c/o | Pearl Detail Bracelet c/o Ted Baker always has a brilliant selection of feminine florals + chiffon, two of my favorite things. So when I had the opportunity to parooz the store in search of a spring ensemble from their SS14 collection, naturally, I was ALL in. Amongst this illusion necklace dress, minty maxi, and sheer a-line skirt {all of which were stunning}, I landed on this rose print fit and flare. Talk about perfect fit! I have a hard time finding cinched waist dresses that fit my petite frame properly, but this flirty number was just perfect. I paired it with ankle strap pumps and a few feminine jewels + a pop of lime to compliment the bloom print. Loving the collection as much as I am?!

The Inevitable Great Gatsby Post

{Headpiece: So Good Jewelry. Dress: Ebay. Necklace: So Good Jewelry. Earrings, Gloves, Bracelet: Vintage. Hair: Todd at Van Michael Miami Salon. Photographed by me.}
Fact: I’ve never seen The Great Gatsby. And that’s despite the fact that it has one of my most favorite hair inspiration actresses in it and it takes place in what is one of my favorite decades fashion wise. Why? Because that movie ruined my haircut. I actually boycotted it back when it came out because everyone on planet earth lobbed off their hair into a bob just like mine. Even my kid’s doctor said, “Look, my hair is just like yours.” And it was. There went my “I don’t want to look like every other girl in Miami” motivation. Ironically, now that my hair is longer than it’s been in five years, I spun it up in a Gatsby style, because, as luck would have it, a friend turned 40 this past weekend and threw a prohibition-themed bash that was unlike any other soiree I’ve ever been to. Authentic, amazing, unrepeatable. That just about sums it up. Given the opportunity to deck myself out in one of my favorite decades, I jumped with joy, hit my closet and the Interwebs for inspiration and headed straight to Todd at Van Michael. Clearly, neither one of us were born in the right decade, as he can whip out this hair in no time flat and it is sleep-proof. I may or may not have taken these pics the following day. OK, I did and that hair survived the night. Oh, give me a costumed theme party and let me run. It’s like bonus Halloween, and I think we all know how much I adore Halloween. And yes, that’s a flask in my garter, so cheers.
