hallway fashions: breaking fashion rules.

Never mix
Polka dots and stripes
OR
Black and brown.
I totally disagree with both of these “fashion rules” and to prove it I broke both of them in one outfit and I love how it turned out.  This just might be a new favorite outfit for me.  It’s not anything super fancy, but I think it’s interesting.
dress worn as shirt: Old Navy ages ago
cardigan: Ross 
skirt: F21
belt: F21
tights: can’t remember
boots: Love Culture
Maybe one of these days I’ll decide to get a real camera instead of using my iPhone and maybe I’ll decide to get creative with my outfit locations, so they’re not all in my hallway.  Or, maybe I’ll just be ok with the fact that I’m not a real fashion blogger and that’s ok :).

  1. i love everything about this outfit! and your hallway works just fine 🙂

  2. Funny, i’m wearing black and brown right now haha!

  3. those are two of my favorite fashion rules to break! Polka Dots & Stripes are often amazing together!! As are black & brown.
    & super love that Cardigan!

  4. I love breaking those rules. Pink & red together is another favorite. The outfit is cute!

  5. i love this outfit!

  6. Im not a real fashion blogger and still put my face up every week! Love it Lauren, keep doing it no matter!

  7. I agree with your disagreeing! I used to think silver and gold were a no too – so not true 🙂

  8. lauren, i love this outfit! i’ve mixed black & brown, and i don’t mind it at all. i also love the look of mixing patterns (which i haven’t tried yet), like floral and stripes that i’ve been seeing a lot of. i always like your style!

    and speaking of style, a skype closet/fashion talk would be SO much fun! i could definitely use your fashion advice!

    love you, pretty friend!

  9. Yep, I love this rule breaker outfit a lot!

  10. So cute! Glad you broke the rules!

  11. CUTE. You’re a cutie.

  12. I think rules are to break and not to follow 🙂
    Love your outfit. And your hallway. 🙂

  13. The outfit is fun! Maybe those folks who make the ‘rules’ are just too stuffy. They, for instance, would never display their favorite photos on a wire with clothespins! Love that!

  14. I don’t really care for brown/black together but you pulled it off effortlessly!!! You look so beautiful and I heart your tights!! Soooo cute!! xo

  15. Who you are and what your blog is is most definitely ok. 🙂 You are enjoyed by so many people! Don’t forget it!

  16. I really like your outfit! No rule breaking= no fun! Right? Regardless you made it work and I can totally see why you said it might be your new favorite outfit 🙂

  17. i always mix black and brown. whatever. i love those tights! so cute. i need me some polka dot tights.

  18. I love you hallway fashion. And, that outfit is perfect. Look at you lovely lady!!! xo!

  19. Great outfit! Looks so effortless and blends well together! I’m not much of a rule-follower either, just like to have fun with it:-) xoxo

  21. LOVE this outfit, and love that you are breaking the rules. I do it all the time too.

  22. Ooh, I love it! Well done.

  23. I actually really like black & brown together! I think it makes for a lot of interesting looks – kind of like mixing metals! sweet outfit! 🙂

  24. Those tights are awesome! I love poka dots, and I totally think this outfit looks amazing on you. That sweater is amazing. I need a good brown sweater.

  25. Cute outfit! Black and brown is definitely a fashion DO now. Screw the rules! That’s what fashion is about! 🙂

  26. Love the outfit! I don’t wear many neutral colors (black and brown), but I do like the mix of stripes and polka dots.

    Also, I know it’s only Thursday but is it sad that I’m already excited for fill-in-the-blanks Friday? 🙂

  27. Those tights are ah-door-able!!! I have always thought black and brown are good together, as long as you get the right tones. This was actually a heated debate at work a few months ago, and now it is being done all over the building! Rules: made to be broken!

  28. i love the mix-up. you look great.

  29. I totally agree with you! Stripes and dots are so cute!!!!! I Love the outfit!

  30. I love the stripes and polka dots combo. I need to try that myself some time. 🙂
