Clothed with Grace: Pattern Mixing

Pattern Mixing

Are you all ready for Christmas? I so enjoyed my small Thanksgiving break and had a chance to do a little Christmas shopping, as well as get the decorations out. I love how the house looks at Christmas, and although Brian needs to finish the trim in the basement, it's done otherwise.  We're really enjoying the extra space and I'm loving having the majority of Grant's toys down in his playroom. Yay!

I'm loving this combo today, I was inspired by this pin, then put my own spin on it. I picked up this sweater at J.Crew Factory and this button-down at Gap factory and love how it came together. I don't know what it is about plaid this year, but I love it! I wondered about these with it, what do you think?








Vest: Sears $18  same
Sweater: J.Crew Factory $20, sold out but would be cute with Fovever 21  same
Necklace: Stella and Dot same

    Yes on pattern mixing Ginny! And I am addicted to plaid this year too! I just found a plaid button down at Hollister (I can't believe I bought something for myself there) and I love it!! It is so soft! Great post! Susan

    I need to figure out how to mix plaid with polka dots. I don't think I have appropriate shades of polka dots right now to go with my shades of plaid. Oh well... more shopping!

    Gorgeous and classy look!!! My mom would always say this to me and I have to pass it on to you "I bet you had a great day because your outfit is so cute!" :) I love the red pencil skirt paired with the cute sweater and I'm all about vests right now! I love it :)

    Oh my gosh, I love this outfit! I'm always timid about pattern mixing, but this looks so great. Also, all the cute looks you've been posting with this vest convinced me to order one for myself :) Can't wait til it arrives!

    Definitely think those boots would have looked great with the outfit as well! Love plaid plus dots! One of my favorite pattern mixing combos!
