Mix It Up

Navy Top: Forever 21 // Green Top: Target [fav! I'm wearing a Medium] // Skirt: J. Crew Factory // Belt: Target // Beanie: J. Crew Factory // Bracelet: ILY Couture // Bag: Tory Burch

Happy hump day! Today's post is just a quick one... I'm starting the process of packing/cleaning this week. I'm boxing up everything that we don't use on a daily basis, and I'll be honest-- I'm dreading this whole moving process. Ugh!

I love mixing prints and patterns, so pairing this top with this skirt wasn't even a question for me. I've mentioned before that I'm super into emerald green right now, and since the majority of the items I purchased on Black Friday were green, you will be seeing a lot of it around here! Stay tuned for another Holiday Gift Guide tomorrow...

xoxo,

Don't you live in Arizona?
Did you forget that August is the hottest month of the year?
Are you insane?

I'm sure these were the thoughts of just about everyone who saw me wearing this outfit over the weekend -- except for that cute lady at the post office who complimented me on it. Yes, I realize that it is still summer, and yes, I very much despise that fact. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm a fall/winter kind of girl. My entire wardrobe, despite what season it may be, is based around cool weather. I realize that this might seem strange, considering the fact that I've lived in Arizona for the past 14 years. [But trust me, if it were up to me, I would be living somewhere much cooler!] Alas, I did wear tights and booties in 90 degree weather, and I loved every minute of it!

Top: Forever 21 [old, love THIS one] // Skirt: Elysian Boutique // Tights: Target // Shoes: Charlotte Russe [similar] // Clutch: Clare Vivier [also HERE] // necklace: c/o Bip and Bop // Sunnies: Karen Walker Inspired via AmazonI'm really loving the look of this skirt, and I know I will be wearing it all the time with tights and boots once fall is here. Here are a few other striped skirts that I'm loving right now! [My favorites are from Anthropologie and Mindy Mae's Market!
