How to Wear: Mixed Prints


Well, we've reached the last post in our 'How to Wear' Collaboration series and I'm kinda sad! I've loved these bi-weekly style challenges and seeing how each of these darling girls pulls it off. Maybe I'll just have to challenge myself to my own style themes and see what I can come up with :)

This week we mixed prints and it was kinda tough for me! I always felt like I could easily pull that look off, but nothing was really working in my closet. I kept going back to this outfit I posted a while back and figured that was as good as I was gonna get. But I decided I could easily match my leopard scarf to almost anything, and since these are my favorite printed pants at the moment, that's what they went with. 

Head on over to each of these girls' blogs to see how they styled this challenge, and maybe tell them what a better job they did than me at taking printed style risks ;) Jen's over at Jenny in Jacquard, Tara is at Mix and Match Fashion, and Jessica is at Bows & Sequins. So fun playing dress up with you ladies and thanks again to Jen for putting this all together!

And then a big shout out to my lovely and super talented friend Kat Harris who shot this post for me so last minute but was so willing to help. You can see more of her incredible work on her blog. Watch out for that one, she's going places. (plus more to come with Kat + Glitter & Grace in the future ;)

H&M top (similar), American Eagle pants (on sale! these are cute too), Forever 21 scarf, Jack Purcell shoes (found at TJ Maxx)







So happy to be sipping on my fave beverage - an iced lavender tea latte from milk + honey :)

Thank you again Kat, you're amazing! Have a beautiful day everyone!
