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!

You’ve been following my blog a long time if you already know my love for mustard yellow. Its unreal. I love unique colors in general but when I think of September, I think of mustard yellow. That’s just the way it is. That’s why I chose this little H&M number as my official September dress. It’s so flattering on me considering I don’t have much. It adds curves where I kind of lack them. Let’s just say “I DIDNT get it from my mama.” Hi mom. I’ve always been small, that’s the way God made me, so when I find something that gives me a little somethin’ extra…put it in my shopping bag and lets go. I love a dress that can boost my confidence a little. I thought this print was unique as well, it adds that bold factor that I’m constantly searching for. Done and done. What’s your favorite September dress? How does it make you feel? Like my Facebook page (here) girlfriend, every like I get I’ll eat a carton of ice-cream…Oh wait. I do that anyways.
