do you ever have those days when the best you can do is throw on whatever's on top of the closest pile of clothes? me too! that's why i repeated this skirt instead of 'officially' unpacking my vegas suitcase. i guess it seemed easier than hanging it back up! okay, maybe i just really enjoy wearing it.
i liked the way this tie-dye tank dressed the skirt down for daytime, while the little plaidie camp shirt got added for the sake of modesty. call me old fashioned, but i'm not really comfortable with having bare arms/shoulders on the subway. too much creepy rubbing-up against strangers! so ~ even when it's sweltering ~ i always bring a little something to cover up with when i'm underground.
{ vintage ysl sunnies, earrings from india, cut-off vintage shirt (used to be a dress!), alexander mcqueen tank, forever21 skirt, dries van noten shoes }

killer sunglasses! and I do love the skirt... fabulousness.
I wish I was as bold as you! And can I just say that second photo is so artistic? I thought the legs were part of the background until I realized they were yours!
I love this look so much, although I would have never thought to mix those prints myself.
that top is fantastic! And I applaud your ability to wear the same piece and make it look so different.

I can't believe that skirt is from F21! I check their site everyday, if I had seen that, I would've nabbed it so quick.

I love the mix of colors/patterns here and the generally uncluttered look of this outfit. Very nice! Love the earrings.(And I don't know anyone who doesn't "repeat" outfits. Are you serious? In this economy?)
My favorites are the sunglasses and tie-dye

The tank is fab, and the outfit together perfection!
Good to know I'm not the only one who sometimes just grabs whatever is on the top of a large pile of clothes!

i never would have thought to pair these all together- but they work together really well!
love the tye dye and plaid together especially.
i have those earrings!
Incredible prints! I agree too - too many strangers touching me on any public transport creeps me out.

Kelly, you literally could be the Professor Emeritus of Print Mixing. All of these pieces are so different, but with a unified palate they come together so cohesively. Beautiful!

Masterful mixology. Fabulous outfit, head to toe.
(And yes...'eww' to stranger-skin on the subway.)

I'm always excited to see how you mix and match prints so well. And YES, I can totally relate to wearing a coverup on the subway. I ALWAYS carry a little cardigan, jacket or shawl when it's warm out to wear on the train. My husband teases me about it.

As usual love your outfit and the way you style things. I love that camp shirt. In fact I had a '50's dress that looked just like it, except it had a lovely flouncy skirt part. Wore the thing out. Pity.
ingenious mixology here. .i love that skirt so much
great mix and match of patterns! i think it works so well with the colour palette being the same in most items.

I love it all the neutral colors it's so fab. I love chopping a dress into a shirt. An application I have done a few times and I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Great title. Genius. XOXO Valerie

Hi Kelly- I look forward to your posts everyday! I am sad on the weekends when there is no post. The outfits are fabulous. I think this look is minimalist pattern bashing. You do a great job. Keep up the good work! SusiG

Your style is awesome.
