Everbody Everywear: Mixed Prints
This month for Everybody, Everywear the public choose mix prints as the way to dress. I don’t have anything against mixing patterns. In fact, I’ve done it before. However, I knew this time around I would have a little more difficulty. You see most of my items that fit me at this point are solid colors. I have some prints that still fit, but they are mostly bottoms only. Pretty tough to put together an outfit of just skirts. Though I know it could be doable. Hmmm…Maybe that should be my next self-challenge! I lucked out with a slightly cooler than average day. That meant this polka dot and bird print cardigan could make another blog appearance. Woot, Woot! This dress, turned skirt, worn as a dress, has also made it to the blog more than a few times.
Together, they made a good pattern mixing duo for the challenge! I also felt pretty in this outfit, and at 30 weeks pregnant that is always a good thing!
The Scoop
Cardigan-Target gifted by Dotty, Maxi Dress/Skirt-Forever21, Shoes-Target Necklace-Miss Ky’s Couture better pics w/ review to come
These pictures were taken at our local Veteran’s Memorial Garden. It was an experience with Lyla that I will never forget. She is very inquisitive, and wanted to know about where we were. I explained to her what all the names were about. She was very concerned about the people represented, and was sad that some of them never came home to there mommy and daddy. She said she was happy that they were helping her, but wanted to take the time to pray for them. Of course, I obliged her.
The next part was tough. Every statue or monument we passed she wanted to know what it was for. Some were easier than others to explain to a three year old, but all in all I think she learned at least a little bit. I know it made me cry.
I think you look very pretty in this outfit!! This is an excellent example of mixing prints, love!

Aw you should feel beautiful in that outfit because you are! I totally would love to see your only skirts outfit challenge. I think it would be challenging but also very cool.

So chic! I love the bird cardi–I would wear it all the time. Combined with the larger floral print of the skirt, it looks just awesome. Great job, mama! I found you through EBEW–come by and say hi if you have a sec, since I love meeting new blogging friends!
Your cardigan is so perfect with this outfit, the background works into your outfit as well. I like this lovely pattern-mixing ensemble, and such a moving experience for her to have. -xo

Thank you, and I’m glad I was able to share some history with her now. Even at such a young age kids understand more than we give them credit for sometimes.
I really love this outfit, and you do look quite gorgeous in it! That cardigan is fabulous!

Thanks Tiffany…Coming from someone who looked so cute during her pregnancy that is a big compliment.
I love how you turned the skirt into a dress! And the gray and black print compliments the gray print perfectly. I love being challenged to mix prints–it’s not something I do very often.
