I'm participating in a fashion challenge put on by Casual Chic Kiki and Megan Mae Daily. Each day will feature a different trend. This is fun for me because I'm not really a huge fan of taking risks and following this summer's trends require a few risks on my part!
Today's trend is flowers and stripes. If I'm being honest here, I didn't actually wear this today. I wore it one day last week in anticipation of the challenge because I rarely ever get to blog about an outfit on the day I wear it. You know how sometimes an outfit looks better in real life than it does in the pictures? Well, occasionally (ahem, today!), an outfit looks better in the picture than it does in real life. I absolutely love it . . . in the picture. In real life, the dress kept scrunching up and making the belt tighter and made it look like I had fat rolls. (Umm, okay, I do, but I don't like to advertise them!) And the sleeves of the cardigan got really loose and baggy after a while.
Enough of my ramblings. I'm sure you're eager to know just how it all turned out. =)
Dress: My sister's
Cardigan, Jewelry & Belt: Target
Shoes: rsvp from 6pm.com
Despite the ramblings above, here are the things I loved about the outfit: the colors! I absolutely loved the yellow and orange and shades of blue. In fact, I'm actually meeting two challenges today. A few months back, Kish challenged me to wear this yellow cardi with my turquoise shoes and I finally worked up the nerve! =)
If you feel like you want to see a list of all the bloggers participating and see how they're styling the trends, then go HERE. Have a Happy Monday!
Oh, and one last thing... tomorrow is all about neutrals. In your opinion, is grey and black neutral? If so, then I'm all set! If not, then I have to do some thinking as to how I'm going to qualify for that one!
And one more last thing. =) I'm also linking up with Mimi's Many Layers Mondays!
