EBEW - Pattern Mixing Challenge

After I had already gotten dressed for the day I realized that it was the day for the Everybody, Everywear monthly challenge.  This month the theme was pattern mixing, and I just so happened to wear a very mixed pattern outfit, so I thought I'd better participate.

Pause

I have decided to stop posting to this blog for the foreseeable future. I think having it has helped me try some new things and think about my closet in a new way, which is what I set out to accomplish in the first place. It has just gotten too busy to take photos and post, and now it feels less like fun and more like work. I also feel less worried about what I wear now and will put on whatever I want instead of whatever I think will take good pictures. Thank you to everyone who followed along!

Purple People Eater

This is only the second time I've worn this skirt.  It required much careful ironing to make it look good after the first time.  It's still really fun though!  I love the crazy colored houndstooth pattern, and the side-kick is something I've never had on a skirt before.

A Feline Guest

Who's that?  Here, kitty kitty!

This is a neighbor cat.  We dubbed him Garden Cat last summer because he was in our front flower beds quite often.  He's gotten a bit chunkier since I saw him last.

I found this cardigan at the thrift store and could pass up a good basic.  It was originally from Target.  It looked really red inside, but outside it's more of a melon.  I like it either way!  Also, new shoes!  They are just cheapies, but the red & white stripes were too cute, and I've wanted a pair of deck shoes for a while.

Black and White and Red All Over

Maybe not all over... just a punch of red at my feet.  This skirt is another recent thrift find - it still had new tags on it and only cost $6!  It's a teensy bight tight at the waist and I couldn't get the zipper up the last 1/2 inch, so a threw a belt on top and boom!  Problem solved.
