Pattern Mixing And I Made This....


How crazy is it that my marigolds are STILL blooming and look this big and full? They've been blooming since like March!

I did a little pattern mixing this past week. One look, I totally stole from someone else and I can't remember where I saw it!!  I would give them credit if I could remember!! I layered a gray striped t shirt over a pink gingham button down. Paired with my skinny jeans and by brown boots, I thought it was pretty cute. Ben took these pictures.  I love the man to distraction, but he doesn't wait til I'm ready. He just snaps away! The 2nd picture is just all kinds of bad but I included it so you could see the patterns up close.

 T Shirt:Kohl's
Pink Gingham: JCrew men's, Goodwill
Skinny jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Macy's. (I think I said in another post
they were from Belk's. No. They were from Macy's.)

I love that necklace. And I've never worn it
without getting at least 1 or 2 compliments on it!
This next outfit made me feel French.  I really don't know why.  Again, Ben was the photographer, but he did a better job on this one.
Stripe Tee: JCrew clearance
Scarf: Claire's
Capris: Target
Flats: Payless
Have I shown this ring before?
I can't remember. I got it at a
consignment shop Lise and I found back
in the summer.  It's my favorite ring!
Ok. So I made this. I have been wanting a circle scarf, but I'm cheap. I found online how to make one out of tshirt and it was so insanely easy! Which is good, because I am NOT crafty and I don't sew...AT ALL!  You take a cotton tee and cut the hem off.  The you cut it across the chest, just under the sleeves.  Then stretch, stretch, stretch, STRETCH!! It's easy, cheap and cute. What more can you want? (Again, not a good pic. I'm unhappy with all my pics today!!)

See that necklace? I got my mom to go thru
some of my grandmother's old jewelry that she
had.  And I found it.  I HAD to have it. LOVE IT!
