20121018-203003.jpgHappy Friday, friends! In case you didn’t see my announcement on Twitter yesterday, I’m proud to say I was asked to contribute to the style section on Twenty Something Indy! The article just went up yesterday. It’s an updated version of my post on how to wear mixed prints. If you’re a loyal reader of SRL, it’s already stuff you’ve seen (sorry), but in case you want to check it out, you can do so here. But it’s only for 20-somethings in Indianapolis. So if you are under 20 or over 29 or your zip code doesn’t begin with 462, then you are absolutely forbidden to view the website. Fine, go ahead and try it, but when your computer gets sucked into a black hole, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Ironically, the day I share my love of multiple prints is the day I wear zero prints. But I’ve had this outfit in my head for a few weeks and wanted to finally wear it. It might not look like anything that special, but I really like the combination of different neutrals, and the fact that I felt like I stepped out of the pages of a J. Crew catalogue.

Don’t you love it when you find something in your closet that you forgot you had? That’s what happened today with this necklace. It was hiding behind some big chunky things, poor little guy. I don’t even remember where I got it, but I like that it’s simple, yet still makes a statement. What kind of statement? I’m not exactly sure. Probably something like, “Hello. I am a necklace.” I don’t think jewelry is especially eloquent.

Anyway, about this little dress. As far as I can tell, it is a dress…which someone younger and with nicer legs might wear on its own. But I – being a professional student in my late twenties who hasn’t worked out in a while – always wear something under and/or over it.  In the summer, I’ve worn it with a crew neck t-shirt underneath, but for October this leggings and cardigan combo is working out quite nicely.
