In Harmony with EBEW

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

I am so psyched for this EBEW challenge!  I almost missed it while I was out of the loop.  Thank Gawd for Liz mentioning it the other day or I would have totally missed out.

And that would have been traumatic because this month's theme is pattern mixing!  I've always been into fashion in some way or another and I have never much cared for what other people thought of what I wore.  However, I find that with the pattern mixing phenom especially, those not really into fashion just don't really get it.

To some people, pattern mixing looks like someone got dressed in the dark.  But to the trained eye, pattern mixing can be a great element in your wardrobe. 

There are some guidelines with pattern mixing.  You are supposed to pick patterns with a common color.  You are supposed to make sure things still look legit together. 

I may not have passed here.  I have blue nautical stripes, a sheer polka dot midi and leopard print heels.  But, ask me if I care?  The answer, friends, is no.  I liked the outfit.  Any naysayers can report to my high school self when I was pairing camouflage tights with Charlie Brown shirts.  Yep Matty, that's for you.  ;-)  Love ya!

Day Three

To Do:  1) Go to One Hundred Gold Mine Tour

(near Silverton, Colorado)

What I Wore:

(totally kidding, but for your FYI, if you are going on a gold mine tour, do not wear your fave new platform sandals.  Contrary to what you might think, you will actually be trudging through a mine, not just riding in that trolly thing)
