menswear.

there is something about mixing two things that are completely opposite in origin that makes me smile. i love the unexpected. if you've been following my blog at all, i'm sure that you can tell that i have a strong affection for items that are whimsical and quirky. hopefully this affection comes through in my apparel.

one trend that i think is very quirky is mixing masculine pieces with the extremely feminine. that is exactly what i tried to accomplish with this outfit. the button up is playing with the masculine while the pink, lace baby doll dress is over the top girly (which is why i would not wear it without something a little masculine).










this week try something a little unexpected in your wardrobe. try mixing something masculine with and over the top feminine piece. let me know how you exhibit this trend in your everyday fashion.

  7. thanks for stopping by! and i absolutely LOVE mixing masculine pieces into a rather girly ensemble...honestly i think that juxtaposition is very necessary for a balanced outfit...but than again this is coming from a girl that hates to wear dresses...?!?! This look is adorable and i love the shoes!
