Skippy Says: Can't We All Just Get Along? (OOTD)

Ladies, let's talk pattern mixing. I hear it's all the rage these days, and I've been dabbling in it for a few months now. I've tried polka dots with stripes, printed animals (not to be confused with animal print) with geometric motifs, and florals with both stripes and splotchy food stained shirts. Today, I went a little wild and paired zebras with giraffes (stupid pun intended. I love stupid puns). And I happen to think they got along famously.








Shop:
- Anthropologie skirt (bought on sale, no longer available)
- Forever 21 blouse
- Anthropologie shoes (bought on sale many years ago- maybe 2007? No longer available)
- Kate Spade mott street sammie (bought on sale) (available in black here or here)
- Treasure Island flea market earrings

Skippy Says: Settling For Moths (OOTD)

"Some people are settling down, some are settling, and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies"- Carrie Bradshaw.

What, doesn't every good post start with a Sex and the City quote?

Well, ladies, I've settled for less than butterflies. Carrie would be very disappointed with me, but my bank account is pretty pleased. After months of pining after these Anthropologie jeans in red and the same ones in green, I came to terms with the fact that: 1) I can't justify paying that much for them; 2) they won't hit sale anytime soon, if ever; and 3) if they do ever hit sale, they'll probably be sold out in my size. So I finally settled on two replacement pairs (a downgrade from butterflies to moths, shall we say?) that combined cost me significantly less than one pair of the Anthropologie ones. Le sigh.

Below are the red ones I bought and although the fit is a bit worse on me than the Anthropologie ones and the color red is more BAM IN YOUR FACE than I would like, they're pretty darn good for $35.
