Sandals: H&M (old) {Love these!} - 50% OFF!

Bag: Kate Spade {similar}

You know that song 'Life's A Dance'? The lyrics go something like:

"Life's a dance you learn as you go

Sometimes you lead,

Sometimes you follow

Don't worry about what you don't know

Life's a dance you learn as you go"

Well a) I just really like that song but b) the lyrics are so applicable to my life right now... way too much worrying about silly things I can't control or I am afraid I don't know enough about. I am my own worst enemy.  And sometimes that stops me from stopping, taking a breath, and dancing.  So, today I am reminding myself that God is in the lead, I am following Him, and I am going to dance about it.... 

Wishing you the happiest of Wednesday! 

Don't forget to get your twirl on :)

StyleFiles: Summer Print Mixing

Playing with prints is currently a summertime pastime obsession of mine. Stripes and florals are my favorite combo but I don't discriminate! Bring on the polka dots, grid prints, and geo prints too!

|| Styling Tips ||  

~ Stay in the same color scheme when mixing 

~ Smaller prints work best together, if the prints are too big it can be overwhelming

~ You want one pattern to have a solid base for example, the shorts I am wearing have a navy base, it serves as an anchor for the complete look

This may be my first print mixing post for the season, but I can promise you it's not my last.  #youhavebeenwarned :)
