4. Incorporate them with high-fashion.

The thing I love most about these high-fashion creative fashion blogs like Xander Vintage, is the reminder that fashion can be fun. Get creative. Express yourself. LOOK AT HER HAIR. IT'S BLUE AND ABSOLUTELY KILLING. BRB I think I finally have found the courage to dye my hair rose gold. >> Post coming soon.

Another high-fashion look featuring comfortable black Birkenstocks. I ALSO LIKE DOG. It's a great example of how Birkenstocks can be a comfortable alternative for even classic looks.

Song of Style | BLACK MARBLE NAILS AND PINSTRIPE SHORT SUIT

"I know I’m wearing a short suit and why all of the sudden the birkenstocks? Well, I ran 26.3 miles and I couldn’t wear closed toe shoes or heels for the first few days after the marathon. Plus, sometimes less is more, you know?" - Aimee Song. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Outfit Inspiration | Pattern Mixing

 

Always have fun with fashion, dress to entertain yourself." - Betsey Johnson

Here are 18 tips on how to mix and match patterns. 

1. Refinery29 "Once you've got your hero dress, find a shirt or blouse that shares one of its colors (but not the main one)"

2. Refinery29 "Keeping the secondary piece in a neutral print — like polka dots or stripes, with white — prevents the outfit from looking too busy."  

Wendy's Lookbook | Still Summer 

Bows and Sequins | Garden Party  

3. Refinery29 "One way to help multiple prints look cool, not crazy, is to pick items that have the same aesthetic."

Chic Street Style | Play on Prints 

6. Merrick's Art "Start with Stripes. If you're a beginner pattern mixer, try mixing any pattern with stripes and I promise you it will work. Polka dots, florals, and leopard are also good beginner pattern mixing choices!"
