#ootd

Today was 1//2 days off of work I have each week and I started the day of in the cutest coffee shop in my town.  I’ve really been trying to dress in ‘actual’ clothes rather than grabbing a t-shirt and shorts, so I can give a “I didn’t just roll out of bed” vibe.


Mixing prints is a huge past time for me and I think it can make any outfit interesting, where it may otherwise lack oomph (is that even a word?).

I started with a duo-printed dolphin short and drew inspiration from there.  I didn’t want to pair them with a plain white top so I pulled out my gray and white striped long sleeve.  It is a simple top but gives enough texture and contrast that I think it works great with the print on the shorts.  This necklace might be the most treasured item in my jewelry collection, it really goes with everything and layers nicely with other pieces.  Today I chose to wear it alone and thought the pink quartz brought out the pink tones in the shorts.

For the shoes; if you know anything about me it is that I LOVE me some booties and I think they finish off any outfit for any season.  But I also think a sandal pairs nicely with this kind of look as well.
