Now, this outfit may not be popular with everyone, but if you scroll through the blog or my Instagram feed, you\u2019ll see I\u2019m passionate about patterns and today I\u2019m combining two of my favorites \u2013 a floral and a check.<\/p>\n

I started this outfit with this bold floral blouse from Ann Taylor Loft Outlet.\"\" <\/a> It probably retailed for around $30-$40, but Goodwill had it for priced at just $6.50. I planned on going more casual and pairing it with a blazer and skinny jeans and boots. But after sorting though the pants rack and coming across these classic black and green checked trousers from J. Crew, I knew I had a great combo. \"\" <\/a>The colors in the patterns coordinate so well that they were a natural fit to pair together.<\/p>\n

During the same shopping trip, I spied the black enamel and rhinestone Art Deco inspired necklace from Ann Taylor.\"\" <\/a> It was a great find at $2.97! The glass jewelry cases are one of my favorite places to visit when first visiting a Goodwill store. This originally sold for around $60.<\/p>\n

To pick up on the blush tones in the floral blouse, I added the pink leather bag from Elliot Lucca.\"\" <\/a> It\u2019s crafted of soft leather and the attention to detail is top notch. According to their website: \u201cElliott Lucca speaks to the \u201cart of the weave,\u201d a tribute to the brand\u2019s deep-rooted heritage in handcrafted texture, weaving together global influences with the beauty and intricacy of an original rattan bag from Bali. A combination of authentic textures with intricate design appears in each effortlessly beautiful piece.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, the shoes were found for me by a friend at a local Goodwill. \"\" <\/a>When you\u2019re known for your thrifty ways, people start to look out for you and pick up some amazing items. These gorgeous sparkling Circus by Sam Edelman\u2019s were only $7.47 and are one of my favorite shoe bands to thrift!<\/p>\n

So, start with some easy and uncomplicated pattern mixing and you can\u2019t go wrong. Maybe you\u2019ll work up to something bolder! Look at your local Goodwill Keystone Area store for some great mix and match pieces today!<\/p>\n
