pin real life / 7

i'm really loving same-print-mixes lately. 

i say same-print-mixes because i wouldn't do it quite this "anything goes" with different prints on top and bottom.

 to me it ends up feeling like it's laundry day and you just put on whatever was clean.

but, when the top & bottom comes from the same print family, even haphazardly done, it feels more purposeful.

since it's been on my mind awhile, i found three different get-ups while looking through the old photo archives. (i told you this series was backed up!)

so do we love it, hate it?
