stripes, dots, & checkers. cake.


so if you haven't notice prints are in. whaaaaat? shocker right?!?!? HA! so when you're a girl on a budget {and we're girls on budgets} sometimes you've got to think outside the box. which is exactly what cake did to create her neon checker print. she took a loose knit snood and wore it over her shoulder creating a fun playful print!  so next time you're staring at your closet and contemplating what to wear think a little bit outside the box and maybe a new pattern will emerge :)

xo.
