Mixing & Matching

Fall is finally here! Did you guys remember to set your clocks back another hour? Although the weather in the south is still a little shifty, it hasn't stopped people from putting on their favorite pieces and essentials for the cooler weather.

One of my favorite things about this season is the layering, layering, and more layering! I love mixing and matching different patterns and textures against one another and it's always fun to experiment with different pieces in your wardrobe to create a different look.

Add a touch of playfulness to your look by mixing a polka dotted sweater with a gingham button up underneath, then top it off with some chunky necklaces to complete the look. To add some shine and excitement to your outfit, wear a sequined shirt or dress and throw on a two-toned blazer or a menswear inspired varsity jacket on top of that. Animal prints, such as cheetah and zebra, are daring and fun so don't be afraid to add them to any outfit to make it more exciting. Mixing patterns and textures can create a whole different look, so don't be afraid to mix it up. And lastly, (This is my favorite rule) Take a chance! Fashion should be fun and you shouldn't be afraid to break a few 'fashion rules'.
