On Wednesdays, I wear patterns. It’s been awhile since I’ve done some pattern mixing so I figured it was time! I love polka dots and stripes separately but when you put them together, I love them even more. If your are experiencing the weirdest warm winter like we are in Texas, then you know how hard it is to figure out something to wear that still looks wintery but doesn’t make you sweat. Well layering is your friend ladies! Scarves and jackets are so easy to take on and off and they are great accessories! For today’s look, I mixed different patterns and colors together that might not typically go together but I wanted to go a little crazy! Style is something we have that makes us unique and we can do with it what we want, so why not experiment and have a little fun with patterns!

To create this look, I started with this creme and navy striped sweater. I love oversized sweaters, especially striped ones! I added this chestnut polka dot scarf that I got from Charming Charlie’s recently! It goes with almost everything and it’s polka dot so I’m not complaining. It was a little chilly out so I added this army green suede jacket that I found at Ross several years ago! It was only 10 dollars but it looks expensive(Ross is where I find hidden treasures, but trust me you have to dig). Army green is a color that can pretty much go well with any other color and I love it for that. I finished the outfit with my typical jean jeggings and chestnut riding boots.

Since I added a jacket and scarf, I went light on the accessorizing and just wore a few rings. Scarves are the best because they are both practical and cute. They are like a comfy, warm necklace! & I know, don’t freak out but I didn’t wear a watch. How will I ever know what time it is? Hah. I guess I was in a rush to get out the door! This outfit is great for a long day of shopping because it’s comfortable, cute, and you can take off layers when you are doing your cardio(shopping). Only 8 days til Christmas people! Lots of Christmas shopping and parties to get ready for! Time to cram in as much hot chocolate, gift wrapping, Christmas movie watching, cookie eating, and Christmas music as possible!
