What I’m Wearing:

Shoes: Avenue size 12, similar

Bag: 3.1 Philip Lim for Target

If you’ve been following for a while now, then you will know that blue is my favorite color.  Although I wear it all year long, I am loving that there are so many options in this wonderful hue right now.  Unfortunately finding reasonably priced cobalt blue pants in my 36″ inseam has not been so easy to find.  So I was happy to find this brightly hued fabric to be able to make myself a pair.  What I love about these pants besides the length, color and fact that I made them myself, is also that they can be dressed up, as I am wearing them now or dressed down as I wore them here.  Additionally, the bold blue hue can be paired with so many other different colors, which I will be showing  you on the blog as I re-mix these pants a few more times to maximize my wardrobe.

Thank you for reading!

Hugs,

Bottom: Faconnable via T.J. Maxx | Top : Forever 21 | Belt : Jean Warehouse | Shoes: Jessica Simpson via Ross | Bag : Kate Spade

These pants were a great find, I bought them on clearance for less than $20 and they are super long.  I have them cuffed under and there is about two more inches of length.  I love the subtle black pinstripe running down them that you can’t see until you come in close.   The one fault I had with these pants when i purchased them was the leg width. They were in between a straight leg and bootcut.  So I took to my sewing machine and just slimmed them a tad bit from just above the knee down.  The final result was a modern and more chic pair of trousers. I decided to try my hand at print mixing by pairing them with my black and white polka dot blouse from forever 21.   My shoes were a real steal I found them at my favorite Ross for only $22. I love the bold black and white and the height of the wedge.  Plus these shoes are uber comfortable.

My mom asked me why I was wearing polka dots with stripes and I proudly proclaimed, “I’m print mixing!”  She just shook her head…lol  I think it looks quite nice because my stripes are subtle.  So what do you all think of my first attempt at “print mixing”?   Would you dare wear polka dots and stripes together?  I’d love to hear your thoughts. :)

Thank you so much for reading!
