CASUAL CLASH
Today is a sad day because it ends my sweet nephew's visit. We took him and my sister to the airport this morning. The house seems frozen without "the baby" and I can't tell you how much I miss him already. :-( Before I start crying again, let's move on to the outfit.
Most would say that nothing I'm wearing matches. Who says you have to match? I believe there is a time to match and a time to step out of the box and have fun. Matching all the time (for me) is boring! One of my fave things to do is clash prints, colors, and textures. Do you clash or are you a matchy matchy kinda person?
I wonder if there's some sort of psychological perspective on the matter. What does either/or say about you? If you like to clash are you a messy, unorganized, spontaneous individual? On the contrary, if you match everything are you a neat and organized planner? Humm...something to ponder. lol

Anywho, you do a great job of clashing prints; you got a keen eye for that sorta thing.
I sometimes think my look is pretty boring because it is a bit matchy.

I think there's something to your observation that an individual's tendency to mix and match prints and patterns or to match everything says something about their personality, but I think, for me anyway, it says more about how secure you are as a person, and how secure you feel in your environment, and how confident you are. I tend to play it safe, because I'm not that secure in my visual abilities, and I like soothing colors. I'm also uncomfortable with prints, unless they're a small component of the ensemble, like a scarf, or other accessory. I'm trying to break out of that comfort zone, and recently I wore a rhinestone headband, a multicolored beaded necklace and silver clutch to a holiday party. I wore a lot of neutrals with the outfit, though, so they provided a backdrop for the accessories.
Once again, I over-think the whole thing! I need to get a life!
