The Pattern Mixing Bang Braiding Kelley
Skirt: Forever 21 – Top: Gap (Thrifted) – Belt: Thrifted – Shoes: Walmart
When I heard Everybody Everywhere was doing pattern mixing this month, I was beyond excited. I definitely voted for mixing prints. It is something that always makes me feel like I am stepping outside of my comfort zone and doing something daring. That’s me, the daring girl wearing polka-dots with stripes.
With this pattern mixing challenge I decided I wanted to let the patterns scream for themselves and keep the palate at a somewhat whispering level monochrome. Then, I used shoes and accessories to add a little pop of color. Also these braided bangs are my new go to do for the summer. Hair up, hair down, no matter what, the bangs are being braided back. I still have yet to get that hair cut and my bangs are in this awkward stage making me look like something between cousin it and… well someone else with long bangs… wow I can’t really think of anyone… That simile bombed didn’t it? Let’s call it a day with this post shall we? Come back tomorrow, I promise I’ll have something better. Well, I can’t promise that… But I will at least try.

This is a really cute outfit.. great photos too, I am really disappointed with my photos this time around. I was in such a rush!
I like how so many people have chosen to mix stripes for this challenge.
Really cute look! Love the braid for summer.
Super cute, and very sophisticated in an understated way. I love the braids, and the red accents of lips and shoes and necklace are just awesome. I found you through EBEW–stop by and say hi if you have a sec this week!
Very cute outfit. Stripes + print always work, and I love the color combo too!

I would never have thought to put the red sneakers with this outfit… but I love how they work so well! Total inspiration!

i’m totally loving your mix of patterns! stripes and polka-dots are 2 of my fave patterns, so mixing them together in the same outfit is perfect! and the punches of red in the lipstick and necklace perfectly punch it up by adding some color. love it!
cute & little

Oh, I love the red lip on you. And I love the neutral patterns with the red accessories. That necklace is especially fab.
Also, thank you so much for stopping by my blog and commenting. I’m glad it led me to yours – I’m happy to be following now.
Ah how did I miss this challenge! I love print mixing. Darn.
I love your outfit. Such a wearable way to do print mixing. And I like your bangs braid. I should try that. I’m trying to grow mine out and they are driving me CRAZY.
Gorgeous, I’m in love with this look! xo
Gorgeous. I love the red accents and your lipstick is the perfect shade. You have to share where you got it!!

Awesome!! Love the way you mixed these prints, and your hair looks fantastic! I’m always trying to replicate that look and it never quite works… you’ve definitely mastered it
You definitely rocked the pattern-mixing! Love the red sneakers too, I think I have similar ones that I’m thinking I should bust out with a skirt.
I like your look here. Casual but interesting as well. Noticed it on EBEW and wanted to tell you I like

Lovely print mixing!
So cute! The pops of red are such a great accent to the muted tones of the patterns.
I just found this through EBEW and I love it! Firstly, your color palette is great for pattern mixing. I love the red just at the edges of your look. (I apparently need to go check out the shoes at Walmart!)
Second, you got that skirt from F21? It’s adorable. I never find anything that cute there. And third, I am also a huge fan of the braided bangs; mine are in the same stage. :p
Saw you on EBEW and really love this look! Your skirt is sooo cute and I love how you tied it all in with red and finished it off with sneakers for a unique, casual twist! Also, your hair-so cute, must try!

That striped tee paired with the red pout is perfection!
I love the colors of your outfit. It’s on the tamer side of this EBEW challenge and it works so well.
