Stripes and Flannel







I have to admit, I have always been a little intimidated of mixing prints.  I have seen it look phenomenally gorgeous, but I have also seen it go horribly wrong.  I love when it turns out fabulously, so I figured I would give it a try.  I think the key is to picking patterns that aren't overly bold, and the color palette needs to be just right.

In honor of the cooler temps, I decided to go with a flannel shirt over top stripes.  I paired it with a layering necklace, boyfriend jeans and booties.  Of course, I had to top the look off with my signature top knot.

  2. I love how you are wearing a lighter wash jean. So many looks now a days go wrong because everyone insists lighter jeans are out and darker are in. I have to disagree. I think these lighter washed jeans make this outfit softer and add a feminine feel to the overall look. Oh and it's pouring here today, so I too am rocking the top knot. (;

  15. I love the print mixing here, I really like your lip color, what brand is it/name? Rachel xo

  16. Hi Rachel! Thanks! The lip color is actually from a make-up pallet from Sephora. Unfortunately they don't sell the colors individually, which is a total bummer because I love some of the glosses that were included!
