Matching is for suckers

*Bloglovin’ * Facebook * Twitter

Look Ma, no matching!

If I was cool, I would have said “suckas” in my blog title, but since I’m just totally rad, I say “suckers.”

Now that we know that I value my education and using the English language correctly, let’s talk about print mixing. You need to be brave. When people give you the second glance, and not in the “dayum” way, or flat out tell you that you do not match, as in your mom (hi, mom!), you question your outfit. Then, I remember that the more people who question my outfit, usually means that I like it more. Suck on that suckers suckas.

I might have a problem with wearing my sunglasses everywhere but on my face. I’m not going to lie, sometimes they are used as a non-face accessory.

Sick of this bag yet? I’m not. I am, however, lusting over this on over at Threadsence, but alas, it is out of stock.

Let’s also talk about my majah (a la, Rachel Zoe style) skank face. Or, let’s not. I think it was sunny. It is definitely not because I was in a not so fun mood, because we all know that I am a bowl full of sunshine; all the time.

By the way, my aunt calls everything skanky. She’s awesome. So, that’s where that came from.

We found this giant concrete tube and thought, “Oh, artistic photos, here we come!” We were wrong. So wrong, that this is the only one you get to see. I look like I’ve never been inside a giant concrete tube while someone is taking my picture before, aka, majah confused face. Which sometimes looks like a constipation face. Too much information?

  14. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting! It’s always fun to run into other blogging Hanson fans. There’s talk of a world tour including US dates for 2013, so I’m sure they’ll be in your area again soon!

    Oh and I totally thought the pattern on your shorts was candy corn at first, which was pretty exciting. Haha.

    Very fun print mixing! Glory in those stares … they just don’t know that they should be envious of your style. 🙂

  20. Haha! Suckas vs. suckers = either way, you are rad. And I’m digging the mixing. I always want to do more stuff like this, but then I revert to matching my shoes to a color in my top, and omg all of a sudden I’m following the fashion rules of my grandmother. Anyway. Thanks for stopping by my blog — yours is awesome and I look forward to snooping around for some more fashion inspiration.

    You’re cracking me up. For the record, the weirder people in the ‘burbs think I look, the better I know my outfit must be. If I felt like it, I would make a chart about this phenomenon.

    I am a huge fan of the clashing prints, not sure I’m confident enough to pull it off just yet! But really like this outfit, and I pretty much always use sunglasses as a non-face accessory..the one photo I have of me with them near my face is when I was just taking them off – they are for bigger and better things than protecting my eyes..! Love the rucksack too! Just a week in to my blogging, would really appreciate a comment, you might like what you see and follow too! I hope so, plenty of ideas and places to come : )
    Thanks, Dunya

  44. You have a special way to show the trends that are better for you.

  45. I totally feel better about my outfit the more eclectic/non matching they are. Weird looks equals sartorial success for the day.

  47. I love the pattern mixing going on here! And I can’t say I’ve even been in a concrete tube before, so kudos to you! 🙂

    Ah, your posts make laugh so much. But let’s talk about the shorts. They’re awesome and they have the coolest print. End of story. Also, I wholeheartedly support of the spelling of “suckers.” I’m a nerd. …and I have an unhealthy love of proper grammar.

    great outfit! those shorts are brilliant – i actually just found out about fransesca’s collection earlier this week, they have some lovely items.

    and i love print mixing! but you definitely have to be brave – wich i’m not. i already freak out when i’m wearing more than two different kinds of colors. but it looks so great on you! i’m going to have to step it up a little and try to be more adventurous when it comes to outfits, haha.
    xo, cheyenne

  80. I don’t think this print mixing looks crazy at all! The top isn’t even an all-over print so it’s a perfectly good idea to pair patterned shorts with it. This is so cute!
