*Thanks Erica! (Hehe, I'll give it back >_> or buy you a new one ^_^)

Okay, so we're staying away from black on rainy days, right? If I had it the way I planned, even my umbrella wouldn't have been black... but I had to draw a line somewhere...

And yes, I said "planned" because when I saw this trench coat, my heart spoke to me. She said, in the sweetest voice I'd ever heard,

"Stephanie, you know she belongs in your closet, right? It'll be a rainy spring, you know? She looks like she's yearning to protect you from getting drenched. That's a nice looking trench!"

And from that point on, I developed the urge to splurge. Usually, I wouldn't have spent as much for anything as I did for this amazing trenchcoat, but, after two wears (and many to come in the future), it was sooooo worth it! (In the comments, take a guess at how much I paid.) And once I purchased it, I started to plan all my future outfits. I'm still looking for the perfect umbrella! I found one on totes but it sold out before I could snatch it up!

I had so much fun taking pictures in the rain! More than I anticipated!


Until next time!

What I'm Wearing
Earrings: Forever 21
Bracelets: Shoedazzle (my sister's closet)
Leopard Scarf: H&M ($8)
Striped Shirt: H&M ($11)
Electric Blue Denim: H&M ($12)
Tan Linen Blazer: UK French Connection ($12)
Mustard Skinny Belt: H&M (3 for $10)
Cream Oxfords: Crown Vintage (my sister's closet)

With every shoot for my blog, I have more and more fun. :) Thank you Jasmine! Now, on to this outfit:

I mix patterns and colors so often now that I forget that it's not common for everyone. Before I ventured into the amazing realm of style blogging, I'd never thought to do anything like this but, once I learned the unspoken rules of pattern mixing, I was able to follow and, at times, tweak them to fit the style I'm defining for myself. Here are some tips that I keep in mind when mixing patterns:

  • Use Pinterest to create or follow a pinboard that you use as inspiration. It's easy to use and access. If you find a pattern mix that you'd like to tackle on your own, save it for later!
  • If the patterns you're mixing have a common color, wear a solid colored item in your outfit to bring everything together. ie. If you want to wear a floral scarf and a polka dotted shirt which both have coral in them, wear coral pants OR shoes (OR accessories).
  • Monochromatic black patterns will (9 times out of 10) always go together.
  • Check out this post of mine that's just a little more detailed on mixing!

I hope this was helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :) Have a wonderful day!

What I'm Wearing
Leopard Scarf: H&M ($8)
Earrings: Forever 21 ($5)
Cream Chiffon Tie-Neck Blouse: H&M ($7.50)
Electric Blue Denim: H&M ($12)
White Leather Oxfords: Steve Madden ($17)

Well, I'm not completely stress free (yet)! But, on Monday night I brought out all my outfits for the entire week ahead of me. I usually bring out an outfit the night before I wear it, but I was restless on Monday night and decided to take it a step further and I'm glad I did.

I now have extra time at night to study or sleep (whichever is most necessary). Blogging my outfits is easier and the way I have them displayed in my room is super cute! Hopefully I'll be able to do this more often and maybe I'll take a picture of next week's outfit lineup!
