How to rock bold prints? This week Keren Charles of Two Stylish Kays, and I, are confidently rocking bold prints. Please check out Keren’s blog to see the details of this awesome and chic printed pants suit.
I am wearing this beautiful printed midi skirt that I recently got at a swap exchange. Swap exchanges are great ways for me to clean out my closet and get new pieces for FREE! In this case, I brought in about 32 pieces, but only left with 12 pieces. This is great, as my closet was overflowing, a huge NO NO for me. Yes, I do have a lot of clothes. But the minute I can’t put anything else in the closet, it’s definitely time to give or sell things. In this case, I considered it a donation to a church.
However, I was super excited when I spotted this printed skirt. You already know that I die for color, as you have seen here, here, and here. Perfect length and best of all, pockets! You can never go wrong with a great skirt that has pockets. Winning every time :).
Fall is slowly creeping into San Diego, but slowly. I decided to pair my bold printed skirt with a short sleeve sweater. I thrifted this sweater from Salvation Army for $2.50 during 50% off sale. I love the loose fit, the color and of course, the great PRICE.
I completed this outfit with my brown Tildon booties that I picked up from Nordstrom Rack for only $35.00. Don’t you love the gold heels? These booties are super comfortable and versatile.

That skirt is beyond gorgeous and colorful. I have never seen anything like it. Love the fun mellow yellow sweater too. Keren also is rocking the retro-inspired suit.

Lol, that is VERY sweet of you to say. I have definitely had some blunders though — ask my hubby.
I LOVE that colorful skirt! I looks so fantastic. You are so good with pairing it to other things that work so well. That top looks great and your jewelry is perfect. I wish I had more of a fashion sense to think of these things.
Michelle,
Thank you so very much for your comment. I think we all have a fashion sense within, it’s just a matter of actually trying things out. Yes, for some people it might be easier, but I also look at various outlets for inspiration all the time.
Love that skirt and the colours are just wow, I love how you have paired with that jumper and I do love a good pair of heels plus deep pockets on a skirt are a must
Ooh love the switch up featuring another blogger! 🙂
YES! I love this look. So vibrant and colorful. That skirt is amazing. I hope to swap some things soon. I need to find a good swap party, or host one, in my area!
P.S. LOVE those booties from the Rack!

Edwige,
Awww THANK YOU! Coming from you, that means a lot to me.
These sure are bold! I love those shoes.
Jessica,
Thank you! The shoes are definitely a great score.
I love this outfit and especially the sandals. Unfortunately for us the temps have dropped to the 30’s so it’s time for me to put away the sandals for the season.
Antionette,
I so do not miss the east coast right now…lol. Love the fact that I can basically wear so much more in this great weather right now.
I mean’t open shoes, not sandals – been a long day.
Great pictures. That gold sweater looks great with your skin!
My closet is overflowing and I am REALLY overdue with doing something about that.
I’m a little shy when it comes to bold prints but you gals ROCKED THEM!
