One Stop Shop?! Score!

The first lady loves the store and so do I. 


J. Crew

Everything seen can be purchased at J. Crew, shoes and all. 

Their clothes and jewelry is adorable. Great options for just about everyone. 

I love navy and coral as a color combo. But when you see this outfit you may be thinking, "How can you mix prints?"

Good question. The best way to mix prints is by sticking with a dominant color. In this case it is navy. Once you have a color in mind, find a large print that is bold but minimal in details. With the geometric print in the pants, it's very each to pair a small polka dot top to stick to the theme. 

Here are 3 rules to keep in mind when mixing patterns:
  1. Choose one color to be the theme that can be found in both prints. 
  2. Have one large print and one small print. 
  3. Add accessories where appropriate that don't overwhelm the print. 
I have heel days and flat days. During the hotter months, the last thing in the world I want to do is put on a pair of heels. Be on the lookout for great color popping sandals to change up your everyday outfits. Wear heels to work and then change to flats for a casual dinner out with the girls. 

So go pattern crazy. The sky is the limit.
