Now you see it! 50 Shades of Blue.

How many times have I said to you that I love to mix prints and patterns? Now, how many times have I truuuuly showed you that I do so? Yeah, I can't answer that either. What I can tell you is that I saw this outfit, well minus a shirt change at the last minute, in my head once I wore these pants for the first time about a week ago. At the time I was at work. I was surprised at all the compliments I got on them so I figured I'd spice them up that same weekend. Yes, I re-wear clothing quite close together.

Aimee, ADOPT ME!

Those that know me may or may not know that Aimee Song (Song of Style) is my blog crush. She's my absolute favorite blogger, the best dressed (on the best dressed list in my head), and an incredible interior designer. What matters most?....uh, did I mention she can dress her ass off?

I was going through old screenshots. You know, normal everyday occurrences, and I ran across a few screenshots from Ms. Songofstyle herself and remember why I fell in fashion lust with her in the first place. These photos have to be over a year old but the styles are still thriving and finally catching on. Denim shirts are HOT HOT HOT these days, especially when paired with a feminine skirt. The lace-up sandals are to die for and I'm still trying to finagle me a pair. She has me ready for the coming spring/summer (as if I haven't been waiting already). The lower pic is probably the #1 reason why I decided to begin mixing patterns, prints, colors, and textures to begin with. No, she didn't invent these styles, but she's a general in the fashion army and she definitely recruited me. LADIES, TAKE NOTE! and don't forget to check out THEMONIQUEMICHELLE.COM
