Life and Style Linkup: Patterns

Florals, Stripes, Plaid- you name it! This week's linkup is all about patterns! I decided I wanted to wear my favorite pattern combo: stripes and polka-dots! It's everywhere on Pinterest right now, and I personally would wear polka dots everyday if I could. Plaid is my other fall time favorite, which the lovely ladies at Posh Pair seem to agree!

We visited the outlets this past weekend, where I found this super cute navy polka-dotted sweater from Banana Republic. On sale, it was pretty hard to pass up. I can't skip over that amazing turquoise Michael Kors bag either! I love turquoise and navy together in any season, and fall is no exception. My ever-generous dad strikes again, and gave me this amazing purse. Best dad ever!

As you can see I'm sneaking in more and more fall items. For today's look I was able to get away with layers. Paired with a short skirt, the sweater and collared shirt provide a good balance of fall time without getting overheated in the warm weather.
