Today I am so excited for my blog role model to be guest posting on my blog. Laura of Walking in Memphis in High Heels is one of the coolest girls I know and I am so glad I get to call her a friend. I was lucky enough to get to know Laura when I featured her in a blog Q&A and found her to be one of the most gracious and kind people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I am so excited to introduce her to anyone who may not already know about her. I look forward to working with her on our blogs for years to come! Take it away Laura!
Hi, I'm Laura, and I blog over
at Walking in Memphis in High Heels. I am so excited to be guest posting for
Elisabeth while she is in Europe (and maybe a little jealous!) ; )
My main focus on my blog is fashion...hence the walking in high heels, but I also occasionally post about my day to day life including my husband, 2 yorkies and fitness. After many years of hoping and praying, my husband and I are now happy to announce that we have a little girl named Leighton on the way in about 3 more months! So...you will also start seeing some baby posts and some more home décor posts (as I grow out of my clothing and get too lazy to take outfit pictures.) ; ) I just graduated with my MBA a couple months ago, so now I get to just focus on working full time as a credit manager, blogging and soon being a mommy too!
I started my blog for mainly two reasons – to share good fashion deals and to push my boundaries and take more risks when it comes to fashion. I tend to mainly be drawn to girly pieces that are colorful but have a modern feel to them. I am also very budget conscious so I rewear my pieces a lot, and one of my favorite ways to change things up is by mixing prints. Below are a few of my favorite print mixing looks that I have worn over the last year and a half of blogging. Mixing prints is such a fun way to take a risk without having to try anything too drastic. It also makes most any look feel modern and current. My favorite two prints to mix is stripes and florals. If you’re worried about looking like you don’t match at all, try just a couple different subtle pieces paired with other solids, or you can start with polka dots and stripes in the same color scheme. Mix a floral blouse with a striped blazer over it and a solid pair of skinnies or a skirt. Just start small and remember that sometimes less actually is more. = ) You can also view more of my outfits on Instagram. Thanks for stopping by and reading today, and I would love it if you would stop by my blog and say hello if you get the chance. = ) Which one of these looks is your favorite? Do you like print mixing?
