To Mix Prints Or To Not Mix Prints & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

So the title of my post may be a bit confusing, since I love mixing prints. I’m just not sure about mixing these 2 prints. I bought this window pane printed sweater in the Fall and I was looking at the different ways I could style it. I was planning on wearing it with printed pants, but the weather was totally not cooperating, so I opted on wearing them with my skinny jeans. I decided to take a picture and see what you guys think. Would you wear the window pane sweater with these printed pants?

The first few pictures are of how I actually wore the outfit.

Jacket (RW & Co.). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Blouse & Necklace (J Crew). Sweater (Gap). Shoes (Tory Burch). Purse (Coach).

The next outfit is the one in question. Would you guys mix these 2 prints together?

Pants (Gap).

Which look do you like better?

Impromptu Coffee Date & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

55 Replies

This Sunday I had plans to go for High Tea with a good friend, but she and her family were sicker than dogs this week so that had to be postponed. Instead my husband decided to get a sitter and we headed to the mall for an impromptu coffee date. It’s extremely rare that we ever get a chance to run errands just the two of us. What a nice treat. We got coffee and had something to eat at the food court, and then we just putzed around the mall. I took a look at some cameras as in the Spring we will be purchasing a new one!!!! I can’t wait for a camera that takes better, faster pictures. Then we headed grocery shopping, exciting, yes I know, but hey any parents out there will understand how nice it is to just get groceries in peace. Anyways that was our date, although short, it was still nice to just have a few hours to ourselves. Below is what I wore. I’m absolutely in love with this quilted purse from J Crew. It reminds me of Chanel, but much more affordable. ( I apologize for how tired I look in these pictures. These were taken on Monday after a rather challenging end to Sunday.)

Sweater & Shirt (Gap). Blazer (Banana Republic). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Boots (Browns). Purse (J Crew).

Murder Mystery & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

76 Replies

This past Saturday my husband surprised me by taking me to a Murder Mystery at Science World in Vancouver. I absolutely love murder mysteries. I was an avid reader and fan of Nancy Drew growing up and to this day I love me a good mystery. I’ve been watching CSI since it first aired. My husband kept it a surprise until right before we left on Saturday. I was so excited!!! We are now planning to host one in the New Year.

We had a fabulous time. It was adult only affair, complete with wine (which honestly was my only complaint, next year something better I hope). You get to walk around all of Science World and then we all congregated in the Imax Theatre where the murders took place. Then we had about 45 minutes to figure out the murderer and motive. Clues were scattered through out Science World and they had 3 extra little scenes with clues. My only complaints were the wine selection and the fact that I wish we had more time to find all 10 clues. Although we only managed to find 5 or 6 clues, I did guess the murderer. My husband was super impressed. Can’t wait for us to host one. Below are pictures of our evening. I also included some pictures from the music exhibit. This was perfect, just in time for Halloween :)!!!!!!

My husband and I had an amazing time. I was not sponsored for this post. This was just a date night my husband planned. If you’re interested in the Murder Mystery, it sells out fast and is only on for 2 days, you can contact Science World to be put on their mailing list.

It’s that time of the week for my link up. Thank you to all 82 of you fabulous ladies who linked up last week!!!! An amazing turn out. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
