i keep chickening on polka

blazer: material girl ~ Macy's
skirt ~ H&M
shoes ~ Charlotte Russe


if only I had followed Yi-chia's lead and worn polka dots like she did here with this skirt here.  I really meant to, I tried it.  But I chickened.  The whole pattern mixing thing feels scary to me!  Now I look at how I wore it and it feels matronly.  Kind of how I'm feeling tonight.  Matronly.  Mom duties and responsibilities abound.  Good news?  My bestie is coming to town and we're hitting a blow bar.  I can't wait to do get my hair did and just chill and have some girl time.  Polka dots.  Shoulda worn polka dots and boots with that skirt. Next time!

wishing a very happy happy birthday to my beautiful mother today.  Love you momma!

Aw thanks for the shout out! You look gorgeous and so not matronly at all. I love that skirt. But yes, you should totally try the print mixing/adding polka dots to anything. I promise it will be awesome. Have fun this weekend! :)

xo, Yi-chia

I had never seen a blow bar before I came to Portland. It sounds like an amazing thing!

Guuuuuurl, please. Matronly??? Hells no!!! That first picture is on FIRE!!!! But, just my two cents....you can totally pull off the mixing...you can do it!!!

You absolutely DO NOT look matronly! I actually like how it looks-the polka dots may have been a bit too much. I think the pop of color in the shoes is just fine.

And what exactly is a blow bar!?
