"Resort"ing to 2011 Trends ...

I'll be the first to admit it ... usually I can't stand mixed prints. It's all way too busy for me. It sort of paints an image in my head of a 89% blind old woman who attempts to match her clothes by using the mantra "Oh, this one small polka-dot on this skirt has a similar-ish shade to this dashed line on this sweater ... I'll wear them together!" And of course, I get it; it's fashionable. I do respect it, since I practically have a shrine to all things fashion in my bedroom (not to mention this blog ...), but mixing colors and patterns typically aren't my thing. Until now.

There is no inkling of sense in my mind to explain why I'm so drawn to the Resort 2011 trend of mixed prints, but voilà! I finally see the light! I don't know what it is ... possibly the eye-catching color, maybe the simple fact that it just doesn't seem as over-the-top to me as usual. Whatever it is, I take all my previous misconceptions back; I love the new trend!

    I have a cropped sweater, it's so difficult to wear, as you can't wear jumpers when it's hot, but then your stomach gets cold if it's too cold.... Reckon I should give it another go, though :p
