the clashing of patterns

What I wore today. In the morning, I went to a costume shop to look at costumes for our school musical. Yes, everyone else was in Nike shorts and camp t-shirts, but I always like feeling overdressed. But can I tell you how cool that place was? There was every piece of clothing you could possibly think of- I saw this silvery gray nylon vest with these grommets that I actually kind of wanted, I think it was from a Grease outfit or something, haha. Anyways, it was really fun. I added the cardigan for dinner that night, I'm not sure what look I like better.

top: madewell, skirt: made by me, belt: dad's, cardigan: madewell

Also: a close up of my skirt pattern. I love it!

  2. I love mix and match prints - you did it so well; they don't clash at all!
