I was super excited to see that Marionberry Style's Trend of the Month challenge for January was stripes. It's a pattern that really goes with anything, and there are quite a number of striped pieces in my closet. I decided to pair my classic black and white stripes with some camo print, and accessorized with this chartreuse scarf I scored at J. Crew during their Boxing Week sale. I've been crushing on this neon yellow colour as of late and it reminds me of Spring, which can't come soon enough!

I'm in major love with this dress from Sugarlips, which is aptly named Miss Violetta. The floral pattern on the purple skirt is accented with metallic thread and the double bubble hem creates the most adorable peplum. I wanted to show you all the dress as it is for this post, but in the future I can't wait to style the dress as a skirt. Stay tuned!

Print Mixing

When Sugarlips sent these shorts over for me to style, my goal was to avoid pairing them with a solid black or white top because it seemed too easy. I reached for this polka dot blouse instead, which still acts as a neutral base to the colourful shorts but adds more interest with the mixing of prints. I did have a moment of doubt after putting this combination together, so I posted a photo on Instagram to get some feedback and make sure I wasn't going crazy in the styling department. A lot of you liked it and said the print mixing worked, which made me feel better. Thanks for the vote of confidence, dear readers!
