Summer came back for one last fling this week here in Indy. Much like summer, print mixing won’t go away. (I was trying for a clever segway there but I’m not sure it really worked out.) Anyway, I tried a new print mixing combination today! Birds and polka dots. At least I think they’re birds. They could just be non-descript flecks, but it’s kind of like looking for shapes in the clouds. Maybe you see Abe Lincoln or a ballerina, but if you do…you should probably get your eyes checked. Cuz they’re birds.

P.S. Feel free to compliment me on my new necklace, which is super cute. P.P.S. Don’t forget you can follow me on Bloglovin’, which would be super for you.

Well, folks, you saw Kristin’s “debut” a couple weeks ago, but I wouldn’t want that to be your lasting impression of her style. In reality, she’s more of a “jeans and t-shirt” kind of girl, but every once in a while, she really steps up her game on the style front. I like to think I have a lot to do with this 🙂

In the interest of full disclosure, I did have a bit of a hand in this ensemble: the sunglasses and necklace were both gifts from me, and I pretty much forced her to get this skirt (with good reason…it’s adorable). But Kristin did actually come up with this outfit all on her own. I couldn’t be more proud of my girl!

When it came to taking photos of this outfit endeavor, the conversation went something like this:

Kristin: I’m not used to being on this side of the camera.

Me: Just act casual.

Me: Um…Yeah, that looks great. Now try looking like a normal person’s version of casual.
