Mixing Patterns--Work Edition







{Skirt: Limited Similar} {Shirt: Marshall's LOVE} {Shoes: NY&Co. Splurge}
{Necklaces: Limited and Express} {Bracelets: Groopdealz}

I will say that for working in a bank, I am pretty lucky when it comes to dress code. Yes, it is still business causal (aka say goodbye to your jeans), but they are not too conservative and I get to wear lots of fun prints and open toed shoes! I thought this outfit was super fun because it is a conservative pencil skirt, but put with a funky patterned top--you get a really cool, trendy (work appropriate) outfit. Pattern mixing is such a great trend this season. For work, I find it best if you at least pick a similar color to go through out the outfit--in this case it was navy. That way your aren't screaming--I got dressed in the dark--and instead saying "I am one powerful banking fashionista"!

P.S. Thank you so much all! You guys had such much great input on the great phone debate--IPhone vs. Droid. But this indecisive lady still hasn't decided ha! Hopefully this week :)

  11. You look so cute!! I can relate to your dress code at work, but we are allowed to wear jeans! During the summer I pretty much wear dresses or skirts every day. I love that I don't have to shy away from color or pattern!

  21. This outfit looks great and it is so perfect for work! I have to be more daring when it comes to mixing patterns. Mixing polka dots and checks are the most daring I have gone. Thanks for inspiring me to step out of the box! You look fab girl!
