Mixing Styles

Something I’m constantly doing with my outfits is mixing styles. I think the normal thing to do is to pair a romantic necklace with a top like this and a black belt to keep in line with the rest of the outfit. Instead  it is much more interesting for me to put on a tribal necklace and a brown belt. I can imagine a scene where I’d be getting ready to go out for the day and I ask my roommates what they think and they say:  “I don’t think that really matches….” Luckily I don’t have any influences like that. My last roommate Courtney was all for weird things too. It’s always great to have someone around that encourages your creative juices. 

I can be that person for you if you don’t have one hanging around. :) 

Why do I like pairing odd things together? It keeps people coming back for more. 

(Moreover, if someone doesn’t quite understand the reasoning for why you’re doing things a certain way they often assume you know something they don’t.)
