Spotted: Mixed Prints

in outfits, what i'm wearing

Equipment blouses are a casual fashion favorite of mine; however, I can’t justify dropping $200 on a blouse (especially given my Zara and obsessive shoe shopping addiction), so I was thrilled when I found this ink-print piece at a consignment shop in East Village during a recent trip to New York.

I wore this a few Saturdays ago for a low-key night of college football and drinks al fresco. It was borderline, side-eye “what-the-hell-isn’t-she-freezing” weather, but I’m not quite ready to retire my shorts. I threw on my beer sweater that evening, instead, if you know what I mean… It was college football, after all.

Tossing these contemporary Ann Taylor haircalf booties into the mix makes this blouse feel a bit more my style — unexpected and slightly less preppy.

*Wearing: Haircalf booties and spotted wristlet c/o Ann Taylor, thrifted Equipment blouse, Forever 21 shorts

When fall weather hits, I find myself wearing bolder looks in a variety of prints, plaids, and textures. Pattern-mixing comes in at a close second to layering, in my book.In fact, I actually threw it on as soon as I walked out of the store a few weeks ago! Hashtag best of both worlds.

 

**Okay, I’m jet-setting to a friend’s wedding for the weekend. I hope you enjoy yours! See you on Monday for more Gossip Girl fashion.

Lovely blouse. And I love how you threw it on right out the store! I’ve done that once before.

The print on the shoes and wristlet is amazing.
