Confession:
I really love a bold print!
However:
Many of you ladies out there are a little nervous about displaying a big, bold design.
The good news:
Fear not! You are not alone, most people believe that a big, bold color or pattern makes them look larger...
and most people don't want that...at least I don't. The key is in the pairing...or combining that bold piece with in the rest of your outfit.
you could pair a big print with some lace or a bold color with lots of neutrals...the thing to keep in mind is balance...too much is, well, too much most of the time.
Don't be afraid to try a new trend or outfit style because it is bold.
Step out of your comfort zone! It can and will be fun...if you let it!
I have been wearing this shawl a lot lately... it's kind of perfect. With the mild winters here it is great too because we don't usually require super heavy winter wear. Today was an exciting 70 degrees...oh my, winter is just so terrible (wink wink).
With this outfit, I toned down the bold Navaho-esque print with this tiered top... a statement piece in itself, it draws your eye away a bit from the print of the shawl.
Outfit Details
Cardigan/Shawl: Hallelu
Top: thrifted (forever 21) ...ummm...for $2!

Nothing super glamorous to report here... we went out for lunch together...Luca picked Zaxby's...he loves their bread wayyyyy to much lol. We also randomly decided to redo the kiddos playroom so we spent the better part of my lifetime at Lowe's rock-paper-scissors-ing it for the perfect shade of black....yes, I said black. We are goth...didn't you know? I kid. I also am absolutely dying would love to tell you all about it...except I will wait until it is all finished and show it to you!
Weekly Challenge:
Find a bold color or print (or hey, maybe even both) and try it out! You may just like it more than you thought...and then you can thank me, or not...I probably wouldn't if I were you...but a link back to you in your fun new style would be awesome!
Hope your having a great weekend so far!
