One thing I’ve been mildly obsessed with this season is mixing prints.  I LOVE prints.  If you’ve been to my house, you know that there’s two things I love for sure and that’s color and prints.  I find it so easy to mix these things in my house, but I struggle more for adding it into my wardrobe.  I am a ‘solid buyer’ for clothes.  I don’t know why, but it’s easier for me to commit to a solid color that I think will go with more than a bold print I can only wear a few ways.  But alas, Fashion Friday has been my project to get outside my comfort zone and develop my own style.  So.. bring on the prints!

I’ve also been following this little piece of info for my daily outfits and I must say, I’m into it.  It’s a little harder in the summer to layer in like I would like because it’s about 1,000 degrees outside right now, but if you’re not great at putting outfits together, it’s a good rule of thumb.  So for this look, my light pink skinnies are my basic piece, my patterned shirt is my interest piece, my cheetah print belt is my completer piece, and my accessories polish off the look.

This cheetah belt, btw.. I honestly wear it almost every day.  It looks cute with everything and adds just a splash of funk to each outfit which I love.  I’m really loving adding a clean print like stripes or this cross patterned blouse with a  more wild print like cheetah to balance it.  I think mixing prints and colors is a super fun way to make a statement.  Anything goes, right?  The 80’s are back!

Also, I’m thinking of cutting some inches off the ol’ locks.  Nothing too short, but just a more middle-of-the-back look.  I’m feeling a bit drab lately with this mane of mine.  Anyone care to chime in on the matter?  Let’s discuss in the comments.
