classy or clashing..?

16.9.12

that is the question.
if there's anything i've learned not to do
is to be scared about print mixing!
who said you can't put polka dots with leopard?
mix in a few neutral, simple accessories like a black clutch, black belt, 
and black shoes and it keeps it from looking too messy or over-chaotic. 
however, it will make for a fun, stand-out outfit!

so what do you say...
classy or clashing?






polkadot blouse: tj maxx, leopard skirt/belt: ross, shoes: qupid (forever young)
clutch: steve madden, bangles: f21 & nordstrom

i know it's probably annoying to hear i get half of this stuff at tj maxx and ross
but these were both pretty recent purchases so you may still be able to find them!
