Easter festivities might be over, but pastels are sticking around all season long. Mixing a pastel floral print with a bright tribal pattern makes for an unexpectedly balanced combo that’s sure to brighten the day.

There are two things that I’m a complete sucker for: bright colors and prints. Sometimes, I wish I had more basic items in my wardrobe, because it would be so much easier getting dressed. Then again, where’s the fun in that?
Recently, I’ve decided to embrace the prints and patterns in my closet. After playing around with different combinations, I discovered that mixing prints without looking ridiculous is not as difficult as it seems. Here, I picked the color black to link the two pieces, made sure neither pattern looked overly obnoxious against one another, and chose simple accessories to compliment the entire look.
I don’t like Mondays very much, but mixing prints makes it slightly more tolerable.
P.S. After I published this post, I discovered that my first stab at mixing prints (seen here) was featured on FabSugar’s Look of the Day. This definitely just transformed my Monday from barely tolerable to absolutely amazing!

If you’re reading this inaugural post, then you probably already know me and were loving/curious/bored enough to click on my Facebook link. Thanks for your kindness!
And if we haven’t met, well get ready! My name is Jen and I’m a second-year law student from Arizona. When I’m not reading court cases or writing memos (but am probably supposed to), I’m following my biggest interest in life: fashion.
It didn’t take me a long time to discover my passion, but it did take me a while to admit it to myself and to you. So here it is: I love fashion. I love culture. And I love that style is a form of personal expression limited for the world to see.
So as my interest in style and culture grew so much that I could no longer keep it to myself (and the boyfriend can only listen to so much of it without exploding), I decided to start this blog. It’ll be part personal style, part fashion, part culture, part inspiration board, part scrapbook, and a whole lotta miscellaneous.

There are a few people in my life who are currently following their dreams against all odds and I envy them. Some of them moved across the country, some of them turned their passions into objectives, and some of them were just brave enough to get out of a career that knew they never wanted. This blog is dedicated to them. Because of you, this is what I tell people when they ask me about my post-grad plans: I don’t know what I want to do, but I know where I want to be.
I’m not sure what exactly will become of this blog, but I do hope you follow along on my journey. Enjoy!
