The Secret to Flawlessly Pulling Off The Mixed- Patterns Fashion Trend!

    The weather has been crazy lately for October! Cold in the morning and night but reaching 80 degrees during the day! It's a constant conflict on how to dress appropriately for the bipolar weather! It's a perfect excuse to try to fit in all those summer pieces u bought near the end of August, and get at least one wear out of them before it turns cold 24/7 and you have to pack them away!
    Today I'm showing you how to mix summer and fall pieces and mix patterns, which is always a difficult trend to pull off, because you may feel silly like you don't match! The key to pulling off this mixed- pattern trend is to keep the details small and a bit understated and try to keep a matching color scheme with the outfit. I chose a blue sundress with a detailed bodice and a bold colored zig zag pattern right under the bodice right above the waist, and a blue, black, and cream colored  tribal print fringe blazer for over the dress. The jacket is the main pattern that draws in attention, and the simple pattern under the bodice on the solid colored dress doesn't make the outfit feel crazy and totally mismatched because it's understated compared to the jacket. 
    The main things to focus on while mixing patterns are these two tips: 1. Keep the patterns you're mixing simple, because if you have two big bold prints that are completely different you'll surely be fined by the fashion police ASAP! The 2nd tip for mastering this trend is to keep the patterns you're mixing within the same color scheme! This will ensure your outfit will all come together nicely in the end! 
    Outfit details:
Dress: Charlotte Russe ($10 what a steal!)
Jacket: "American Rag", Macy's
Necklace: Forever 21

Christmas Fun for Everyone!

I spent the chilly afternoon at Six Flags Great Adventure Holiday in the Park yesterday, to get into the holiday spirit. Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny, and toy soldiers gathered around a ginormous decorated tree, and greeted everyone entering the park! Fake snow was falling down, as Christmas carols played throughout the park to welcome you into the whimsical wonderland. The entire park was transformed into a Christmas oasis with Christmas lights, decorated trees, and holiday characters all over for photo-ops. Families gathered to keep warm and to roast marshmallows in the s'mores fire pits and sipped hot chocolate. Many other delicious holiday treats such as Christmas themed funnel cakes and yuletide brews were available throughout the park as well. You could eat, drink, and be merry while watching the holiday concert in the center of the park with specials guests like Santa Claus and Rudolph. Be careful with your hot chocolate intake though if you plan on jumping onto adrenaline- r...
