Bits and Pieces: Patterned Relaxing

 

Sundays are made for relaxing - though sometimes a bolder, more "I've got things to do today and

let me put an outfit together" ensemble makes its way into weekend rotation.  Typically, as evidence in my prior and past outfit posts, I do sway towards a neutral palette - one that is laden with solids and basics.  But when throwing this outfit together, I felt out of my comfort zone, but in a great way.  I was proud of mixing stripes, animal prints and color - fashion can make you feel brave, and sometimes that is all you need to really relax.
