Dots and Stripes

 Happy Friday!

With the career fair coming up, I got to thinking about ways to look polished while still having fun with patterns and colors.

Mixing polka dots and stripes can be a disaster, but here's the trick to getting this combination right every time: pair a light piece with a dark piece. Here, I paired a light blue striped skirt with a dark blue polka dot shirt. I also prefer to keep the two pieces in the same color family so that my outfit looks more put together as opposed to seeming childish.

Stormy Waters

As I mentioned last week, I am really into double-slit maxi skirts and dresses at the moment. Here is the skirt version in a cool blue pattern reminiscent of storms. I usually like to tuck a simple tank top into a maxi skirt for a casual and polished look. For something a little more edgy, try wearing a maxi skirt with a cropped top that shows a little midriff.
