About my outfit: I usually pair this skirt with a plain black top but I've been trying to experiment with color more and change-up my looks by stepping outside of my comfort zone. When I laid this shirt on my bed next to my skirt, I noticed that the colors matched to a T. I tried it on and loved the quirky look of it! I tied it together with Mom's old belt and neutral wedges. The cardigan brings out the mustard color and, even though it has its own subtle print, I think this "clash" works surprisingly well. I finished off the look by tying in the brown on both my wrists (still enamored with Atlantic-Pacific's use of accessories) and the personal pendant the BF's grandmother gave to me, which sits in the V of the shirt perfectly.
On another note, how was everyone's Halloween weekend?? The BF and I were "cowboys and indians" and we went downtown to scope out all the costumes. I totally forgot to get pictures, and I doubt I can convince him to dress up again, but maybe I can get a picture of mine to share with you. We recovered rested the next day and then watched a medley of scary movies last night, including Let Me In, The Funhouse, and Halloween: Resurrection (all available on Netflix if you're feeling jealous...)

These mixed prints look great. I have seen some that don't look so good, but you did a really awesome job with it.

Fabulous. Easily one of my favorite mixed print outfits. And I love that belt with it - it's perfect because its not matchy-matchy.
OMG! Cutest outfit EVER!!! =) I love the way the top pairs with the skirt. This is a prime example of pattern-mixing done well. So glad I found your blog!

Those prints are so complementary they look like they could have been designed together. Fantastic. I love natural light too but Ottawa's getting cold these days (and dark by the time I get home). I might try to get some photos on the other side of my apartment though to take advantage of our huge windows.
Loving the mix of these patterns!! the colors are right on! That skirt is adorbale...I love the stripes!
