Risk taking

5/30 Banana Republic shirt; Old Navy shorts; Thrifted scarf; Target wedges.

Can you believe it's almost July?? It honestly freaks me out because I swear just yesterday I was panicking how it was June already.

Anyway, I'm usually not much of a pattern-mixer, but I really liked pairing this printed scarf with something other than just a white v-neck. And I know I'm definitely not the first to wear florals with stripes or anything, but in my little hometown, I still felt like a risk taker.

    Love the mix! Great scarf. That's about as bold as I go with the pattern mixing too :)  Cute with the wedges.

    I am not a pattern mixer either and I think a scarf is a good way to start.

    I think the two go so well together :)

    Never be afraid to take risks, they make life so much "fun-ner"!

    That scarf is so cute! I love pashminas, but I never really stretch myself to little silk scarfs.

    Cannot even believe it's going to be July. I'm sure I was just booking my flights home for Christmas like a week ago. WHERE ARE YOU GOING, 2011!

    I can't believe June is almost over either--this summer is going by way too fast! I love the scarf and stripes together, it's such a perfect way to wear a scarf for the summer.

    I took the month of June off for vacation so I'm REALLY sad to see it come to an end. I wish I was better at wearing scarves. I just always feel uncomfortable even though I see other people (like you) rocking them!

    WOW, I just mixed MY first patterns today too!  Weird, we're like twins ;)  I was afraid too, so I also started out by dipping my toes in with a patterned scarf and shirt.  Yours looks GREAT!  Way to be brave :)

    I love the top and the scarf together, it's very cute! I'm doing the 30 for 30 challenge too! I'll enjoy watching what you come up with!

    I think we're hoarding all the heat in my part of the world...I'll gladly share some with you though!

    I'm glad you are taking a little risk and mixing patterns! I love florals and stripes together. I can't believe how fast this month has went by too. It is crazy! I guess the faster the time goes until I get done with grad school the better!
