friday's fancies #51.

A very happy Friday to all of you! This week, Friday's Fancies is all mixing and matching...prints, that is.  When Ashley from a {little} dash of ash and I were together for blogger blitz NYC last Sunday night, she suggested this fun theme...and I loved the idea! My outfit for today is a bit toned down but that's because I'm back in Indiana--and I'll be taking care of my mother after she has surgery this morning. Please say a few prayers for my dear mom...she'll be laid up for a few weeks and I'll be there for the first two to help out. I think this outfit would be perfect for a cozy day in with her :) enjoy!

1) Let's be honest: I'd never buy this Boy. by Band of Outsiders Striped Cotton-Blend Top. I could get a much cheaper version in just about any store these days. In my Friday's Fancies, I can pick a $200+ cotton top, right? ;) 

2) I've added a few pieces of leopard in my wardrobe this fall and I'd love to add this J.Crew Leopard Scarf to the mix. Adding leopard with the stripes is my first foray into the mixing and matching--and I like it!

3) A great, "basic" pair of jeans is always good for the wardrobe {and the soul!}. These 7 for All Mankind High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans work for every day and for snazzier occasions too.

4) These Kate Spade Putting on the Ritz Large Stud Earrings add a little sparkle to the mix and would be a perfect addition to my jewelry box. 

5) Structured bags have been calling my name all fall--and this Prada Saffiano Framed Tote Bag is currently topping the list. I know it will never be mine, but a girl can dream!

6) Infusing a little red into this outfit would definitely make it pop, so these Tory Burch Carrie Leather and Patent Ballet Flats fit the bill. The touch of patent always gets me!

I can't thank you enough for linking up today--be sure to use your blog name when you link up to get

I'm happy to help.
