Casually Mixed: Polka Dots & Stripes

Unbelievably today is Monday, March 31st! Did you enjoy this month? I certainly hope so!
It was a quite a month for me personally, and because of the #30PlusStyle Collaboration! Miss that highlight? If so, no worries, check out the details here. I am so excited about what we have in store for you in April ;)

 Today's post is short and sweet. I wore this ensemble out and about over the weekend. I've also worn it to work, but a tad dressier. I wanted a more casual vibe this time around and comfy shoes for walking. 




This ensemble incorporates my recent fixation with black & white, mixed prints, as well as a classic closet staple: polka dots.


So there you have it (and my hubby in the shadows)! I think black and white patterns are easier to mix and match than more colorful ones patterns. If you've been hesitant to try pattern mixing/mixed prints, why not start off with black and white prints?

Until next time!

    You look comfy& happy and your Hubs is quite the photographer. He selects the right backdrop/scenery every time and he has a great model. Looking forward to more.

    Adorable skirt Joi. I'm always afraid to mix patterns. I've only done it once or twice. You did it well.

    You look so great. I try mixing pasterns, but I can't seem to work it. Such a shame as on others it looks so cool. Love the blouse. X x x

      Hey Mookie, I admit it can be challenging! I'm a woman who likes everything to match, so this is truly outside my normal style comfort... but, strangely I like it! LOL!
      Thank you
