Everybody Everywear! Mixing Prints...Stripes and Animal Print.

Hello Ladies! I am excited to participate in another blogger link up...Everybody Everywear. Every month we vote on a look and all link up on the 2nd Tuesday. This one is mixing prints. My idea outfit would be a stripe blazer and a flower dress. I really like that look, but since my stripe blazer isn't in my closet (yet). I decided to go for a look that was included one of my other favorite prints...animal.

Now I know I just said that I love stripes, flowers, and animal print. I love all three equally! Just like a parent loves all of the children equally. They might just have a favorite for a given moment. lol!

Back to my outfit. I did wear this shirt to work today but decided against the skirt because it kept riding up and I wouldn't have felt comfortable. So I would call this a "going out" outfit and not a work outfit. The shirt is from my Aunt's closet. I went to her house on Sunday and looked at her "vintage" closet of all the stuff she's getting rid of. I was glad when I saw this and instantly thought of wearing red pants with them..(those aren't in my closet yet either) I wore my red Chinese Laundry pumps because I love them. This is how I mix prints. What do you think? Would you mix prints..If so, How do u mix prints?



What I Wore:

Blouse:Vintage
Skirt: Target
Shoes:Chinese Laundry (2007)
sunnies: Target
lipstick: Mac's Ruby Woo

As Always..Thanks for reading..XOXO! Erika
