    I think you did a great job with the pattern mixing - the colors go together so well that I didn't even think about the patterns! I'm also loving that safari dress - if only it was thrifted! haha

      Thank you!! Maybe one day I'll find a dress like this while thrifting... I'll probably have to do lots of shopping to make this happen :)

    I did a Gingam and Floral look also for this challenge. I can see you have the same prob as mine? Like how you layered the shirt with a white tee but opened. I have a problem buttoning up my shirts sometimes. Thanks for that idea
