Outfit of the Week - Double Stripes!

*** I am not a fashionista. I shop at Target and I don't wear heels. You can read my reasons for posting an outfit of the week (despite my fashion deficiencies) right here. ***


I'm trying to get outside my comfort zone. You know, by mixing patterns. Is anyone else afraid of doing this? I think I've always played it in the safe zone ("light on top, dark on bottom" and "one print, everything else solid," etc.) just because, honestly, I don't have that many clothes so I try to stay pretty neutral (so I can wear things over and over again).


Well, this week I stepped out of that comfort zone and mixed prints (cue the hallelujah chorus). As usual, please excuse the unprofessional photos. It wasn't until afterward that I noticed the cars in the background. Next time I'll just embrace them and sit on the car hood.



Dress: Anthropologie
Cardigan: Forever 21

      Thanks so much, Sita! I've had these two items for years and I have no idea why I didn't put them together until now!

Thanks so much for your comment! I reply to my comments via email, but I can't do that if you are a no-reply blogger (if you don't know what that means, you probably are). Check out this tutorial to fix it!
