Stripes and Dots: Easy Print-Mixing

Massive snowstorm = indoor photos! Here, I'm pretending like it's still warm and springy outside when the reality is that work is cancelled for the afternoon, and I'm drinking chai in bed.

I'm excited to wear this mix of stripes, polka dots, and lots of gold accessories when spring comes around (which in Denver might be a couple days from now or a couple months from now). I love mixing prints, and picking something simple--like stripes and polka dots--in the same color family is a foolproof way to do it.

  8. I really, really like this. Everything is great together, the colors, the prints, everything! I bought that same blazer some time ago but had to return it. It's adorable but the shoulders looked awful on me. Glad I can live vicariously through your blazer wearing outfits. =)
