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.

20121015-201628.jpgStop acting like you’re surprised. You know I can only go so long without mixing more prints. Now that my vacation week is over, it’s back to Indiana and back to fall layering (hey, I’ve gotta look on the bright side). I wore this gingham shirt last week in Florida (see here), but now it’s taken on a whole new character! It’s perfect how it appears to be peeking out from under these polka dots (read that sentence aloud and raise your hand if you love alliteration).

Just a heads up: I have a feeling this recipe of button-up under a cute sweatshirt or sweater will make many appearances this fall and winter. So you better like it. Otherwise get out now…while you still can.
