Two-Toned








Top: Ann Taylor   Skirt: LOFT   Heels: Nine West   


Hi everybody!

Mixing patterns seems so daring and out of the comfort zone, but it doesn't have to be that scary. It's simpler when both differing pattern pieces are the same color scheme. I have demonstrated here that both my skirt and top, although diverse in pattern, are black and beige. This creates similarity, so that the difference doesn't seem so extreme.
 So, pattern mixing can be taken in baby steps. It's like saying, "let me dip my toe in the water to see if I'm up for it." And you know what I say? Go for it because fashion is worth experimenting!! 
Now that my little pep talk is over, have a great day guys!! Thank you so much for always reading!

Stay beautiful,

Sofia

    I almost thought this is a dress, Sofia. I am usually not into a pattern mix but this is so stylish as you stay with the two colours, I'd instantly wear this.
    Fabulous, dear!
