I love pattern mixing, but I also love easy outfits. When I was putting this outfit together, I considered just wearing the blouse and jeans, but thought this scarf was a great pop of color (and a fun way to mix patterns!). I’m not really an accessories girl, so you won’t ever see me wearing tons of costume jewelry, but I do love scarves and hats <3 Ultimately, I think the scarf was just what the outfit needed!

Days like this remind me how lucky we are to have the city as our backyard. The best days are spent exploring with my husband and being able to spend quality time together. And in case you were wondering, yes, he took these photos; he’s an Instagram husband, for sure ;) And he swears he doesn’t mind it!
