july in instagram

when I was little, july was always my favorite month. july meant summer camp, bbqs in my parents backyard, my birthday, arts and crafts, running through the sprinklers, popsicles as an afternoon snack, and all things wonderful and summery. although as an adult I no longer am on summer vacation, I still make sure to keep the summer traditions going (although I don't run through sprinklers anymore, because then I'd have to redo my hair). here is a look back at my july in instagram photos:

inspiration tuesday: pattern mixing

as someone who grew up wearing a plaid skirt to school every day, pattern mixing always seemed taboo. not that I could have worn a striped shirt if I wanted to {hello dress code violation infraction}, but I would never have dreamed about it. but these days I'm all about mixing patterns. floral with stripe, plaid with stripe, polka dots and chevron, skulls and floral...etc etc...

here are some images that are inspiring my wardrobe these days:
