red, white and blue.

happy 4th of july! 

i can hardly believe it's july already, before you know it we'll be facing fall.

but for today i hope you enjoy your time with your family, smell in the summer air and delicious cook outs, watch sparkles in the sky, and celebrate the freedom we have in this country.

have fun guys, stay safe and don't eat too much. unless it's delicious, then go ahead and indulge!

sunday style finds.

1/2/3/4

i'll be the first to stay that i tend to stay safe when it comes to style. 

pattern mixing is something that i would not just come up with on my own. 

i mean, i don't think i would just walk into the mall and pick up contrasting patterns and come up with an outfit. 

but i have become kind of obsessed with polka dots and stripes.

it's such a structured yet fun look, that seems so hassle free to pull off.

plus if i go with the layering, i can always just remove one of the layers if i become too self conscious.

kinda genius, no?

what do you think of polka dots and stripes?

is there another pattern mix that you love?
