Florals, Stripes and a Happy Closet

Striped Tee: c/o Boden, Sandals: Target, Bag: c/o GiGi New York, Scarf: c/o Boden

I love incorporating color into my wardrobe, which you probably already know if you read this blog!  Spring is the perfect time to start making my closet fun again and Boden is helping me to do just that, with the addition of a few colorful pieces from their latest collection.  The striped tee I'm wearing comes in 8 colors and I may have ordered 3 of them....I couldn't help it!  They are so perfect, because they are a classic pattern and I know I'll be able to wear them with almost anything!  So, be prepared to see a lot of stripes on this blog in the future.

This floral scarf is another amazing Boden item that I'm obsessed with.  I've mostly worn it around my neck, but I thought it would be fun to try out the headscarf look that's so popular right now.  What do you think? One of my friends told me I look like the Chiquita banana lady...so, yeah...I'm not 100% sure yet. 

Also, can we talk about how I've always been scared of pattern-mixing?  Florals and stripes is one of my favorite combos on other people, but I've simply never thought I could pull it off.  If you are a scaredy-cat like me, try wearing a floral scarf with a striped top (or vice versa).  Then you can work your way up to mixing main pieces, such as this skirt with this shirt, or these pants with this top.  Boden makes it easy to fill your closet with fun, but most importantly WEARABLE clothing that is made to last...I'm sure I'll be back for more items from this great British brand!
