This is how I mix patterns without being all in your face about it. Dots, meet plaid. Plaid, meet dots. I absolutely dig this skirt: it's a short little vintage number that can be dressed up or down. I really had to fight myself to keep from wearing it with a band tee and leather. That would just be too expected. And we can't have that now, can we?
I wanted to thank y'all for being so mature in your comments on the last post. Whether you agree or disagree with my views doesn't matter: it's the fact that you're acceptant of them that really gets my jollies on. Judgement is ugly. I'd like to respond to each comment individually, but I haven't exactly figured out a good way to do that yet. So just know that your thoughts are appreciated!
We're gearing up for a snowstorm, which has absolutely sucked out all of my energy and replaced it with cravings for hot chocolate and carbs. Lots and lots of carbs.
Jacket: Soia & Kyo
Skirt: Vintage
Tights: Target
Booties: Seychelles
I read "carbs" as "crabs." Dyslexic moment there. I just looked down and saw that, then read backwards toward the hot chocolate. I am now picturing crab legs being dunked in hot chocolate. FML.
ReplyDeleteI really like the jacket and tights. I don't really like red plaid things, so you can imagine I'm not in love with the skirt. It looks nice on you, though. (Uh, what doesn't?). I'm staring into my closet and realizing I don't have anything that's plaid. Lolz. Looks like someone is obsessed with orange/pink/yellow, floral, and animal print these days. Hilarious considering I hated those colors as a kid/younger teenager.
Cute outfit
ReplyDeleteI like your subtle pattern mixing
Aren't your poor little toes frozen?

Nice! I love the mix. I want to do more pattern mixing but I am so intimidated by the task. I guess I just need to get over it lol
ReplyDeleteI happen to totally agree with your feelings in the last post. When I was younger I was so starry eyed, but now I don't know that I want to be officially married. Love itself is sacred and it doesn't need the stamp of approval from a religious or government figure.
Always love reading your blog,
Kat
hunny you look brilliant in plaid.
ReplyDeletelove the photos as always.

I love swiss dot tights and subtle pattern mixing.
ReplyDeletewe are gearing up for a 'storm' too.
by which i mean, wondering if it will actually snow instead of just raining again.
Chic on the Cheap
love the way u wear that skirt! i love the pattern, beautiful!
ReplyDeletei dig carbs even when there is no snowstorm... egads... gotta work on that.
ReplyDeletei enjoy the subtle mix of patterns! :)
I like this subtle pattern mixing- it works really well together! I want some polka dot tights really badly now :) And love your red lips!
ReplyDeletegood job on not going overkill with the pattern mixing! the plaid skirt with the dotted tights look great together :)

Wow, look at all that snow! And expecting more?? I wish for one good snow before this winter is out. Alas, it doesn't look like it's going to happen here in NC this year.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the plaid and polka dots. I really need to expand my shorts/tights repertoire!
Loving that plaid skirt - I could totally see you rockin' it with the band tee & leather, and maybe some black lipstick - but I'm glad you kept it simple and just added some dots! Mmm hot chocolate and carbs? 2 of my faves - happy indulging :)

I want that skirt! I actually had a similar one in high school and probably wore it with at least the band tee you mention, but I wasn't quite edgy enough to go for the leather, lol. I love it with the dots on your tights, it's really cute.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing all right with the snow up there, we got the lovely ice/snow mix down here in the Cities and it's just a party on the roads. :P
I used to be afraid to mix prints but now I do it all the time! And yours look great! Snowstorm? Oh dear. Keep warm xo
ReplyDeletei read your previous post and i kind of have the same believes.. i generally hate weddings! i even hate attending them cause they seem so fake to me..
ReplyDeleteanyways about this post.. wow i love the scenery behind you! i really wonder if you are not cold there.. but i have seen less clothes on your post with worst weather conditions so i shouldn't be wondering hehe
love the skirt! x
It's been snowing like a mofo for a week, I missed most of it but it's sticking around. NOT impressed.
ReplyDeleteI love the subtle print mixing, this plaid skirt is AWESOME. And it would look badass with the band tee and leather jacket. I love it with this jacket too though!

thanks for not throwing your pattern mixing skills in my face. That was very thoughtful of you :) We are having a snowstorm today and I've already eaten my weight in carbs. Best day ever.
ReplyDeleteI really love this mix. The plaid skirt is lovely but the polka dotted hose are such an amazing touch. It's the jacket that is making me sweat though. I mean, sweat like my palms are all sweaty with lust that I really want it! Did that make sense even?
ReplyDeleteYour bday present is being shipped to me right now!!! So, I will have it when I see you in AZ!
xo,
Tracy
Dots + plaid = love. Great outfit! Hope you get your fix of hot chocolate and cards!
