End Notes:
Confession: on my flight home from Colorado last night I wrote a list of all the patterned articles of clothing that I own (and that still fit!) and organized them by color. This week’s module on Fashion 101 had me a little bit panicky, but thinking about my patterned clothes as colors — rather than as just prints — helped me put together today’s combination. I love turquoise and red together, so I just paired this fan print shirt with red floral flats. Though it’s admittedly subtle, it’s a pattern mix that I would never have otherwise made. But because I’m confident in the color scheme I feel like I can rock it!

I think it is a wonderful combination of patterns – subtle and chic. I really love the color of that blouse.
Love the collar on that blouse. And I’m so excited to see more posts from this module!
Those shoes are super cute and they look great paired with the patterned top.
I love turquoise and red together – you look adorable!
