mix and mash-up

Sorry it has been a while, guys. Lots and lots going on this week! But I think there are enough pictures to make up for my extended absence.

Naturally, I'm pulling out the high waisted shorts. As you might have read in my last post, I pretty much don't wear anything but shorts this summer, this particular pair i grabbed at a jcrew outlet a couple years ago. They reminded me of my favorite decade of fashion: the 1930s and 40s. The detail involved in style, like my shorts, the little polka dots, the deep teal color, the buttons lining the front.

Even with the polka dots, I wore a vertically striped shirt. Because neither of the patterns were too bold, I felt it wasn't overwhelming. Hold the phone, I'm wearing red lipstick and magenta shoes? Yep, thats right. If I wore matching shoes and lipstick, that would just be a little weird, right? Seriously, who matches their lipstick to their shoes? The point is, as long as nothing is too outlandish, you can mix patterns and colors. Pretty much whatever you want, well atleast that's what I do.

shirt: Forever 21, shorts: jcrew, shoes: urban outfitters, hat: aeropostal (yep, that is correct), bag: H&M, necklace: sister's boutique

I am a little bummed at this point, due to the fact that I accidently deleted some of my pictures. I'll do my best to figure out what the problem is with my hard drive but until then, enjoy!
