{Outfit Inspiration} Spots & Stripes

Just when we thought Spring (and bare legs) were here to stay, Mother Nature threw us a curve ball and brought freezing temps again last week. But before I could even post this outfit, we were back to 80-degrees….so hopefully this is the last we’ll see of tights for awhile. I love this combo of spots and stripes, and fortunately this outfit works with, or without, the tights.

I love tops with feminine accents, like this one with ruching at the shoulders, and delicate pearl buttons on the cuff. Would you have guessed Target?! It came with ties at the collar, but I snipped them off.

If you combine patterns like these, make sure the scales are opposite…like small dots with wide stripes.

Want to see what these “photoshoots” really look like?

An impatient 11-year-old photographer, and a camera-loving photo bomber! I’m lucky if I get three usable outfit pictures. But it’s always fun to see what he captures.

    That is a fantastic blouse!

    Tights weather was been zapped away this week, up in South Western Ontario. Plus 22C and getting warmer. Ah, summer is wanting to appear, and so are my legs.

  16. Gorgeous, as always! I love the outfit-inspired-by-decor posts–you nail it every time! I often have photo bombers in my blog photos too. If I try to take any while they're awake, they find some way too invade the shot! They're lucky they're so cute! đŸ˜‰ Hope you're having a great week, Cassie!

  18. It's been pretty toasty out here in southern California. I love that color blocking and polk-a-dot combo though. So cute and unique. My photo shoots look similar but my pooches are the photo-bombers and impatient hubs is the photographer.
