pattern mixing

If anything, travel forces you to put on outfits you never would have worn, had you had a full range of selection from your closet. When it comes to outfits, I like to have one pattern, one bold color, one extreme place of interest. My worst fear is to look too busy. That being said, I hardly ever mix patterns.





but since everything I decided to wear was (mostly) neutrals, I decided that it was okay. Not to mention, this was the only scarf I brought along and it was too windy to go sans. I wore this yesterday and went shopping while Robert had class. It was a happy outfit for running around in. I'm happy I bought gel inserts for these shoes before I left though, since they're so flat.



And I adore this skirt. I thrifted it for .95 cents. It buttons all the way up the front, though you can't really tell from the pictures.
