My idea of print mixing is to at least make sure all of the colors "blend". Black and white polka dots... there's black and white in the printed skirt.  There is brown/tan also in the skirt and it's carried over to the leopard print shoes.  

But the way I see it, leopard functions as a neutral and goes with everything!

Let's talk about sewing mojo.  Mine has gone missing.  This is something that seems to happen every year around this time.  I want to sew fall clothes so badly, but it's 91 degrees and humid.  Not conducive to wearing woolens and tweeds... sigh.  So I get in a sewing funk.  But I'm on the verge of shaking it.  So far, I've taken this time to sort through patterns that I've been saying that I wanted to sew for a while now to add them to the top of my list.  I've also made a list of fabrics that I want to buy.  And I've allowed myself the time to flip through the September magazines.  There are several trends that I MUST have.  I'll talk about those later.  Also, September brings homecoming!  So whether I want to sew or not, this weekend I'll be working on Mikaela's homecoming dress.  Look for a post on that by September 15th.  

This is what I wore earlier today.  It was 75 degrees and this jacket didn't stay on long!
