Today's topic: pattern! I love the idea of mixing up different patterns to create a fun and unique outfit. And what's better than primary colors to top it off? This red, white, and blue top would be perfect for the Fourth of July, and I'm loving the tiny flower vintage flats. With this nautical tote, you're ready for your day out!

Maddy's Wish List

After discovering sadieolive's Etsy shop yesterday, I've been in a very vintage mood. Pretend shopping online always seems to soothe my not-so-skinny-right-now blues.

Lirola
Spring Dress With Secret Garden Belt Bundle Listing

This dusty rose handmade dress with its soft drapes makes me want to pull out my lace gloves for a vintage tea party. Maybe when I'm not pregnant, I'll be able to fit in this.

SparklePeach
Triple Orchid Necklace in Gold

This dainty little necklace would nestle perfectly between the swooping collar of the dress.

sara - embellished vintage shoes (6)

Not that I wear a size 6 (more like a 9 and a half...on a good day), but I just LOVE these shoes! I've always been a fan of whichgoose's shop, and now that she's added some shoes just makes me want to follow up on her posts more.

DavieandChiyo
Pink Marshmallow

This gorgeous clutch is lined in silk and matches the dress perfectly! Not only that, but it's on sale!
