There’s a lot of mixed feelings, I mean textures, in this outfit post. Mixing textures and patterns has always been my favorite and easiest thing to do when I’m feeling stuck in a fashion rut. I go to my closet, turn on my creative side of my brain, and get to work. Putting together a tribal print skirt with a black and white striped tee may be a leap of faith of others but for me it’s going to the grocery store. Once you get in the habit of mixing things up and taking small fashion risks, you will eventually build up the courage to rock whatever type of pattern, color, texture, print you feel like. Don’t set boundaries for yourself. Break those chains and wear whatever you feel like wearing, in moderation of course. Maybe don’t step outside the house in your smiley face leggings and One Direction band tee. That’s a no girlfriend, big no.

This day I decided to keep it feminine and keep it Autumn-like. I really don’t have a choice anymore, it’s October. Adding this shimmered linen tee transforms this look. I don’t know how and I don’t know why but it does. I’ve officially swapped out my plain white tee for this gold one. It makes the plainest pair of blue jeans look like a million bucks. It’s a MUST HAVE!

Hey guess what? You know that neon vomite green color, otherwise known as chartreuse? Well, it’s my favorite color of all time. I’ve said this before but unique colors are my favorite. I get all sorts of happy when I see this color. Weird? Ya…a little. I know I wear this skirt all the time but thats because it goes with ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. There’s not one thing that can look bad when its paired with this tulle skirt. I wish I could tell you all wear to buy one but I got this years ago at a lovely boutique in Durango, CO. I’ve never looked back. It’s one of those pieces that I will never ever get rid of, even if you paid me. It’s too stunning and I’ve made way too many memories in it. When I’m in any sort of doubt, I run to this little guy. He has my back that’s for sure. Also, I’ve been very impressed with the H&M Fall Collection this year. I’ve bought more from them this year than ever before. It’s still not my absolute favorite place to shop but they do have great pieces that aren’t too expensive if you’re on a budget like me. This top, for example, is under $50 AND I get loads of compliments when I wear it. Not too mention it’s real cozy. That’s an A+ in my book.
