Fashion Inspiration: Green

sweater: Old Navy, shirt: J.Crew Factory, jeans: American Eagle, shoes: Target
necklace: Target, watch: Michael Kors, pearl ring (right hand): James Avery

I decided to try my hand at some pattern mixing today.
I've been working up the courage to try it for a while.
Now don't be too shocked by my first attempt.
Calling it subtle is an understatement...but it is a step in the right direction.
I would call this outfit a roaring success!
The green pinstripes in the shirt are very subtle, so they don't compete too much with the wider stripes in the sweater.
Also, both the sweater and the shirt share a similar color...green.

Speaking of green...St. Patrick's Day is coming up on Saturday.
So you might want to start thinking of a super, cute green outfit in your closet.
{or your sister's closet...whatever works}
I may or may not be planning to wear one of today's green shirts on Saturday.
However, now that I think about it my sister has some green sandals that are just darling.
Do you think she will notice if I borrow them?

If you need some more ideas...you can see how other bloggers wore green here...

Fashion Inspiration: Blue and Green Stripes

sweater: Old Navy, tank: Target, jeans: American Eagle, necklace: Target
boots: Arturo Chiang (from Dillard's)

I tried on this sweater about a month ago and really liked it.

However, I didn't like it for $33.  It was cute but not THAT cute.

Then...yesterday, I walked into the store and it was marked on clearance for only $10.

And it was totally worth all $10.

I'm pretty sure I love this sweater now and the price tag helped.  

I think what I love most are the colors.  

I've been wanting a blue and green striped shirt.

And...here it is!
