Accessorizing Your Look











Happy Monday, y'all!  As always, I hope you all had an awesome weekend!

For the last week or so, I've been discussing how the temperatures have been cooling slightly here in Chicago.  While the temperatures are not full on Fall, there are moments, especially in the evening, when the air is crisp enough for you to call it "cool."  To transition my favorite summer looks into Fall, I simply look to layer other classic in my closet such as scarves and jackets.  

If you follow the blog, you know I'm no stranger to mixing prints and patterns.  For this particular transitional look, I took some of my favorite summer staples, like my all time favorite J.Crew fluted skirt in hunter green, partnered with a patterned top from Target, and added a polka dot print scarf for cooler temperatures along with my favorite J.Crew denim jacket.  For those of you who are just getting comfortable mixing prints, I chose this particular scarf because of the blue and white color combination which picked up on the blue and white hues of the top.  I also choose to bring out the soft yellows in the top with one of my favorite yellow stripe J.Crew clutches.  For the shoes, I wanted to pull in the neutrals from the bag with matching tan ankle strap sandals.  

How do you like to mix and match your prints and accessories?

XOXO,
Anna

    1. Taking a look at what you have is an excellent start! I never used to feel comfortable mixing prints or even wearing brighter colors, but I started small and now I'm hooked! :)

    1. It's so amazing how cool it's getting here already. I think we are all so ready for fall, but it's getting cool so fast and early I think most Chicagoans are wondering if that means we'll have another dreaded winter. Fingers crossed for a beautiful fall and short winter! :) XO

  22. I love how you mixed patterns, this is the perfect transitional look! The neutrals really balance the look, and I love how you brought out different colors in your top with each piece! I'm a fan of mixing prints, but it's a newfound love so I'm still experimenting! Thanks for some great inspiration!

  23. In love with the skirt and top pair and how the neutral sandals complete this look. I do mix and match pattern/color, but I might have gone for a different scarf in this case..to me it clashes a little too much with the beautiful top...

  36. I love this outfit! It sure seems more summer than fall, but it's nice to see a few extra layers as that gradual transition into the next season.

    I'm also a huge fan of pattern mixing. It's just more fun!
