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

  6. 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!
