Surprize! A PRINT!

mmm...arm candy...

I own hardly anything with a print on the fabric...just kinda realized that. 
I'm obsessed with attempting to fill my closet with "stylish basics"...I still need to learn that there are other ways to be "basic" other than simply buying everything in boring, flat neutral colors (though I firmly believe minimalism will never NOT be chic).

So: here is my printed...blouse? ...tunic? ...top.

Love these dainty shoes...a friend found them at a thrift store for me.

Another firm belief of mine: AMERICANS WEAR TOO MUCH DENIM.  Jeans are wonderful and all, but GEEZE people, branch out a little! get creative!  Be bold!  I was uber-pleased when a guy I know said to me yesterday, "Caitlin, do you own any not-colored pants?"  These pink Anne Klein cropped trousers are one of my all-time favorite thrifty finds. 

I'll share one more firm belief while I'm at it.  Wellll, maybe two...you just can't shut me up, today!

1.) There will never be a hat design to match that of the FEDORA.

2.) A person (specifically, a woman) wearing a hat is the most noticed person in a room.  Wanna make an outfit interesting?  Add a hat.  I don't care if you're wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers: just add a hat!
