Paisley Pattern Mixing

This outfit makes me proud. It is a demonstration of my mad pattern-mixing skills! Or at least, an attempt at such. Personally, I think these prints are made for each other, and I've worn this outfit several times over since these photos were taken back in late August (I am so behind, oh boy). Plus I'm wearing a dress as a top again. I feel so ingenious and stylish all at once haha...

 

Dress (as top) - Purchased from Sally Jane Vintage on Etsy

Skirt - Thrifted from Value Village

Shoes - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

I was browsing Etsy the other day when I spotted a skirt that looked suspiciously familiar. Then I realized... it was exactly like my skirt, except in a slightly different colour palette. So, for those who happen to dig this skirt and want their own... check this one out. It's a small clothes-world after all?

 

I had a lovely weekend. I went out dancing at a local psytrance event on Friday which was nice, and bumped into a few unexpected friends while there. Saturday was filled with some very successful thrifting and then Sunday afternoon I spent some time taking outfit photos in a park and reading in the sun by the lake. The weather can't seem to make up its mind, but if it can send me more weekends like this one, I'd be a happy camper.

 

I paid maybe $2 for these earrings a few years ago. They're pretty basic, just little seed beads and wire-wrapped sharks teeth, but I like how unusual they are. The only annoyance is they're always getting caught in my hair! 

I was about to express how I can't believe it's nearly mid-September, but I'm just going to admit that time has been flying by lately. I'm not complaining, because the quicker my work-week is over, the happier I am, but it'd be nice if my spare time lasted longer. I'm not particularly fond of the feeling of time zipping by though, it gives me the all-too-serious impression that I'll wake up one morning, 30 years older, with no idea where the time went.

I've been a bit lax with posting lately, but I have a ton of stuff lined up so expect daily posts this week. I hope you all had a good weekend, and that your Monday is going well. Cheers!
