.: The Pattern Game.

I am usually not the most fond of mixing patterns, mostly because I wonder.... " Am I going to pull this off? " or " Are people going to look at me and think it was an obvious laundry day?"

But guess what? I don't care and It's fun.

Sometimes when I put together outfits like this I feel like a child again.

My mother never told me how to dress growing up and you should see some of the outfits I came up with....

I knew that both of these pattern's wouldn't go extremely well together but I still sported them.

Sometimes this is just what you must do...

Be brave, it's what fashion is about.

P.S. You know its bad when your father says to you, " Hilary, animal print and stripes? Do you know they are different? " Ha.

I mean, lets get real, this is coming from a man who finds it appropriate to wear a jean shirt and jeans.

I have seen this happening out there on the streets lately and in fashion, but no thank you.

I will never pick up on that fashion backwards move.

Shirt: F21. Cardigan: The Gap. Pants: Roxy. Shoes: Dexter. Necklace: F21. Earrings: F21.

Now ladies, lets go find the two most absurd things in our closet and show off our distinct style!

Let me share with you another thing I haven't done in a VERY LONG while :

Straightening my hair.

I usually think it turns out dopy, but I really wanted to try something different than the usual waves I sport every day.

I bought a new Pixi hair straightener and it really does amazing things.

My hair has never gotten this strait from other ceramic tools.

I highly recommend this.

Have a good one everyone and fashion forward!

( I love when I post outfits because I think I am the least likely person you should listen too about fashion, but it's fun to hopefully inspire people to think outside of the box. )

EXTRAS!
