On Saturday Katie Marie V and I volunteered at Urban Craft Uprising! It was definitely fun to check out all the different vendors and get a chance to meet some cool, crafty people! I'll be sharing my purchases and favorite vendors later in the week, but for now, let's talk about outfits!
I had a couple of things to consider when getting dressed for the show: 1. There wouldn't be a secure place to leave a purse, so I wanted to be able to carry most of my stuff with me; 2. I'd be on my feet a good chunk of the day so I wanted to be comfy; and 3. It's a craft show, so obviously I wanted to look super cute and crafty!
I decided on this skirt from ModCloth because not only is it super cute, but it also has big pockets that snap closed! It was perfect for the show because I had room for my phone, my keys, my lip balm, my money, and my bus pass! Then, since I love mixing prints I added this cute T-shirt from Anthropologie that I've been wearing all the time this summer.
As if two prints weren't enough, I decided to throw on the Fabric Flower Belt I made last week (what better accessory for a craft show than one you made yourself?) and some matching yellow flats for comfy footwear. I was actually a little concerned when I got dressed that I had gone a little overboard on the print mixing, but decided I loved it and would rock it out. Later at the craft show, I overheard a couple girls talking about how much they loved my "dress" so I decided it was a definite success, especially since I stayed super comfy while volunteering!
Are you a fan of mixing prints? Have you had any big hits or misses?
Til next time!

Those are the cutest flats and belt! I love yellow accessories with neutral colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie! I'm a big fan of yellow with neutrals myself!
DeleteI love the flats. They really pop with the belt. Which, the belt, looks great! And mixing prints can be fun. It can sometimes look great. It's just a matter of taking a chance.

DeleteI must say, skirts are my favorite piece to wear, they are so comfortable. Love how you combined the shoes and belt. Cute ♥
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't had a lot of skirts (just dresses!) until recently and am glad to have expanded my wardrobe to include more, because they are definitely super comfy. Thank you for the sweet compliments!
