Watercolor and Stripes

October 25th, 2011

blazer: Zara, dress: Forever 21, shoes and ring: Target, bracelets: gifted

These two pieces are some of my closet favorites. However, until recently I never thought of wearing this watercolor dress and this striped blazer together. I slipped on this dress last week because it was still scorching hot in LA and when running out the door, remembered to grab a jacket (since the office is always freakishly cold). I bounced between this striped one and a plain black blazer and glad I chose this one because the resulting outfit is much more interesting. The dress is great on its own (as seen here) but lends easily to mix with other prints since it has such a blurred pattern. Are some of your favorite outfits made from a quick, running-out-the-door decision? ♥

    Mixing prints and fabrics can work so well, as you’ve shown here. I forget who the designer was now, it might have been Rodarte? But they did an art inspired collection, Monet, Manet, lovely dresses with artistic prints…. reminds me of your look here. Gorgeous!
