When it comes to certain articles of clothing, jewelry, or shoes, I tend to stick to complimentary accessories. For example, the gold sequined blouse pictured above would look so cute with a black pencil skirt and black pointed pumps. I typically pair similar items together. However, switching it up a bit and mixing unlikely pieces together can be just as fun. Pairing a studded thick-heeled boot with a girly sequin blouse can be the perfect match.

When it comes to nautical-inspired clothing, I tend to stick to red or yellow pieces. To me, that just says "nautical." However, I think it is fun to mix prints such as the animal print shoe above, or maybe a floral handbag instead.

I like the idea of mixing an edgy (or maybe more than one) piece with a feminine look. While I am the girliest, prissiest girl that I know, I love edgy pieces as well.
What about you? Are you one who chooses the "expected" option? Or are you "unexpected" in your fashion choices? I'd love to know!
like so much !!

I love mixing up feminine and edgy pieces! I think we all fall into the trap of putting like things together in outfits but it's way more fun and creative to put contrasting pieces together sometimes. I am obsessed with those zara booties! Also I love the idea of mixing a nautical striped dress with a contrasting animal print shoe...so cute!
