What I Wore: Print Mixing With One-Of-A-Kind Prints

One print, two print, three print, four. Anything goes nowadays, right? This especially applies when you take subtle pops in your shirt sleeves or animal prints on shoes or purses. I've mixed stripes with floral, camo with floral or stripes, leopard with floral, and the list goes on. However, this is the first time I've mixed a one-of-a-kind print with a one-of-kind print. And it's all because of an Instagram challenge mixed with a busy schedule.

This outfit began with a closet shopped venture into neglected capri pants, tops, and a last year's wedge sandals in the morning. I wish I had time to snap a photo of but I forgot in the morning rush. Later that evening, I was due back up to church for our college and 20 something's small group. And yes, Im that personality that dresses according to the vibe of where I'm going. I stay within my realm, but I wasn't feeling the sandals for the college group. 

I swapped out the wedges for the white tennis shoes and then remembered the print mixing style challenging I'd yet to get pictures for. After a quick glance around the room, I spotted a print scarf with the same colors as the top I was wearing. Why not pair them together? I threw the scarf around my shoulders. Oh heck no. I tied it around my waist. Hmmm. The tassels hung perfectly at my hip and somehow the two prints blended. 

I grabbed my well-worn chambray blazer, my latest navy purse and was out the door. Feedback from the young ones is always appreciated!

"That's a scarf? I thought that was a part of your top!"

"Love the white sneakers, Chrissy"

"Love the vibe, Chrissy."

Style Takeaway

• As always, try something you haven't tried before. 
• Two different prints in the same colors just might work if worn in just the right place. 
• When mixing prints, I opt to keep the accessories neutral or subtle. 
• A blazer styled with sneakers makes for a cool, calm, and collected vibe. 
• A hip sack makes for a convenient, hands-free experience while adding balance to certain outfits. 

What's Up On Social Media

Well, of course, there was this print mixing style challenge. There's a sale on my favorite skincare (25% off site-wide with code: MOM) and Friday I'm featuring a new pair of kicks!

What I Wore: More Pantone Colors 2021

Earlier this year there was a lot of talk about the Pantone colors "illuminating" and "ultimate grey" for the 2021 spring and summer season. In fact, I jumped on board and threw a post together HERE. However, since then I paid little attention as to whether or not my colors were trending. That is until today when I unknowingly hopped back on board with this Caite tunic top*, sent from Caite & Kyla. But of course, they would be ready with what's current without sacrificing individuality in their timeless pieces. 

Artistically threaded throughout the gorgeous embroidery are two more of the Pantone colors, "marigold" and "rust", which are happily settled on their "buttercream" backdrop. This top* happened to pair with my comfy pull-on sneaks c/o Enjoiya. And finally to finish off this outfit is the neutral complimenting color of navy that I live by.

What I Wore: Layering Dresses For More Looks

Last week was all about the Pantone colors for spring: Ultimate Grey & Illuminating. This week we get to play with style creations through layering. It means more options, more ways to wear, and more bang for your buck.  Today'ss featured dress is another Caite & Kyla addition from the fall (spring styles are on their way!). Of course, we can layer our dresses with outer pieces, but why not make more looks by layering tanks, tees, sweaters, sweatshirts? Of course, this isn't a new concept by any means. However, I hope to inspire you with more possibilities! 

Also, this is a fun way to recreate a dress for Easter! Ok, let's get to it. 

What I Wore: Illuminating and Ultimate Grey

Admittedly today's post is inspired by the promptings of Instagram friends and their challenges. It's all about the Pantone 2021 colors for spring - Ultimate Grey and Illuminating. Though I don't fixate on the latest trends, I think they are helpful in using otherwise neglected pieces in your closet.  Or maybe you're ready for a refresh and want some of the latest colors! In this case, I had a couple of neglected shirts and a few accessories to pull off this trend. 

What I Wore: From Sidewalk to Sand in Jambu

 

Hello, beauties! Are you ready for spring? Of course, the fashion industry has been ready with its 2021 spring line since the spring of 2020. Once a line is released the design process for the next year begins! Sounds like a risky gamble at times, but I bet that's part of the adventure. And it's an adventure for me to see what those familiar brands add and change. Last week I shared a design upgrade by Jambu with the "Erin Too", but today's post is a newly designed, water-ready sandal c/o Jambu. 

*Jambu sent me the sandals for review. As always, all opinions are my own. ;)

What I Wore: Jambu Pull-ons In Pink

Hello! What is your go-to shoe for spring? I hadn't thought too much into it before writing this post, but more and more I find myself reaching for pull-on sneakers. They are convenient, stylish, and wonderfully comfortable. Rainy days aside, they are perfect for pairing with just about any easy-going, casual look.

Now, if you've been around the blog a minute, you might have seen my first pair of Erin shoes by Jambu & Co. Well, those popular styles are back, along with a new variation, the Erin Too. Today I'm pleased to share these adorable spring and summer shoes featuring two casual looks.  *Adorable sneaks were sent to me for review. As always, all opinions are my own.

Layering a button-up with a tank is such an easy-going look to pull together. From there, grab a pair of jeans or even better legging pants with a pull-up waist. Why not sport all the slip-on-pull-on-pull-up comfort that you can? 

Shoe Highlights

Erin Too -c/o Jambu

The Erin Too shoes feature a sporty bungee chord across the sides, a skate-inspired look, and knit uppers. The relaxed foam insole feels amazing from the first time you walk out the door. Those insoles, a flexible body and adventure-worthy traction put these sneakers on my top shoe for spring list!  

Look Two: Chambray, Better For Play

I switched out my plaid button-up for a chambray snap-up. Do you sense a theme going on here? Aside from the trees. I am a mom of boys and if you look closely you will see one of them hiding in the banyan roots. Anyway, chambray tops or jean jackets make fashionable completer pieces for fall or spring because they look cute tied around your waist. Once I attempted to climb these trees with the boys, I was happy to shed my outer layer!  

Style Takeaway

Convenience and comfort no longer mean drab and boring. One or two quality pairs of casual shoes with stylish details and your favorite colors, can not only take good care of your feet and legs, but they can also bring you countless looks that elevate confidence. 

I believe Jambu has a selection for all tastes and highly recommend perusing their homepage. If you find something you love, I have a discount code for 20% off your entire purchase!
