stripes and polka dots.


skirt: Ross.  sweater: old navy. belt and watch: target.  necklace and flats: j. crew outlet.

The other day, a coworker pointed out to me that when I was holding my cell phone and wearing this blazer, I had a great stripes-and-polka-dots thing going on.  Her comment was the obvious inspiration for yesterday's outfit!  

I enjoyed this pattern-mixing very much like I enjoyed running my P.D. sessions with teachers yesterday!  My school has the most amazing writing department, and we had a really great time talking about inquiry-based grammar instruction :) 

ps- linking up with a fellow educator's style blog today: Marionberry Style and The Pleated Poppy!

I love stripes and polka dots together - I don't even consider it pattern mixing anymore because they just look they belong together!

CC said...

Love it! If only I owned some polka dots - this kind of print mixing I could get behind. ;)
