Patterns + Neutrals Link-up

style-perspectives

It’s Style Perspectives Wednesday! Today our prompt comes from Abbie who blogs at Grumbling Grace. She’s also being featured today on The Blended Blog. Abbie’s choice was patterns and neutrals. I went back to last March to see if I had anything I could feature and then remix.

So the only piece that I kept here was the gingham blouse. What’s my pattern today? You guessed it - gingham.

Mustard is a neutral, right? I think it is + I know leopard print is a neutral so there you go!

I found this gingham blouse on clearance last year at Target. I had wanted a gingham and loved the color after my co-worker wore it to the office one day. I was super inspired and had to snap a picture…of him! Thanks, Herman for the inspiration!

HermanI told you I love menswear! I wasn’t kidding…

And here’s how we all featured white pants last week!

14 bloggers each picked a look that defined their personal style.
The featured blogger on the Blended Blog showcases her signature style (the prompt for that day) and then the other bloggers (on their personal blogs) show how they interpret it.
Make sure you stop by the Blended Blog to see the featured lady.
Please link up on the Blended Blog to show us how you would wear the prompt!
