Style Mash-up!!

Sunday, May 6, 2012





Hi Loves! I've missed you guys :) I hope your weekend was amazing! I'm actually at home in MS with my family for the weekend to celebrate my Mom graduating with her MSW! I'm so proud of her. I will do a post later this week, with snippets of the great time we had with her :) 

So the outfit I'm wearing is what I like to call a " style mash-up", meaning I'm wearing unrelated pieces that somehow embodies my style and made perfect sense for me to wear together. I decided to make my striped body-con skirt the focal point of the outfit and style around it. I wore a simple white top with my army green vest, to neutralize all the white and at the last minute, I grabbed my favorite watercolor scarf to finish the look! This look is easy yet chic and it had a lot going on, without looking like it had a lot going on...(know what i mean?) What do you think? Enjoy the pics!

P.S. I'm participating in the Nautical Challenge over on Everybody Everywear go check out all of the fab looks!

What I Wore: | Top: Banana Republic | Vest: Old Navy | Skirt, Scarf, & Sandals: Target (old) | Bag, Belt, & Ring: H&M | Jewelry: Gap and Charming Charlie bracelets, and vintage leopard earrings |

Have you been wearing any outfits that may not make sense to everyone else but you absolutely love wearing?? If so, what are they? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading this post and thank you so much for all the love, comments, and for following, it really means so much to me :)

    I love this look and I was thinking exactly what you said "there's a lot going on, without looking like there's a lot going on!" I found your blog through EBEW and it's great to "meet" another elementary ed. style blogger!
