One of my faves.

You know those outfits that you put on, and while you're walking around you don't feel entirely comfortable? You thought it looked great, but it didn't really feel like you

Well, this was not one of those outfits. In fact, it was the complete opposite:



^ Hah, squinty-face.

Cardigan from Costa Blanca, Shoes and Dress from F21; Clutch from H&M; Old belt from mom's closet.

I felt pretty amazing.  I got the outfit idea from another girl I saw walking down the street. The long cardigan and dress combo is perfect for a cooler summer day (although it was not cool enough today).  And these shoes? I can't say enough good things about them.

Also, did you catch my subtle print mixing? I rarely wear prints. And I never mix them. Except today! Yay! I love the clutch with the outfit and floral pattern. Starting this blog has brought me a whole bunch of firsts :)

  1. I completely know what you're talking about. It's such a fine line between being yourself and daring to try something new. You have to experiment to evolve, but in the process, you can occasionally feel misplaced.

    I think you look great. Subtle, but great. The elements work well together. And also, while at H&M the other day, I saw the clutch. Made me think of you!

  13. Style blogging has certainly helped expand my own outfit creativity too. Pattern mixing was one thing I'd never considered pre-blog, but now I find myself venturing into that territory more often! Looks great on you!
