Tracy on the Cheap here, back for more frugal fashion!

Inspired by a previous Urban Darling post, I decided to dip my toe into pattern mixing. Using Ashely’s tips I settled on a navy base color, mixed up the scales on my dominant stripe pattern, and maintained a bit of space between the dotted hat and striped sweater and shirt. Voila! Pattern mixing made easy! (And on the cheap at under $175!) The scoop:

Seed Bead Knot Studs, Urban Outfitters

Pink Studio Rosetta Peep Toe Slingback, Endless

Hampton Straw Hat, Forever 21

Striped Pop Tank, Forever 21

Stripe Tape Yarn Cardigan Sweater, Arden B

Waist Tie Linen Pants, Charlotte Russe

Lela Rose for Payless Paloma Clutch, Payless

Hi there, I’m Tracy from Tracy on the Cheap. I’m so excited to be guest blogging for Urban Darling! I’m all about looking great without breaking the bank…and having fun in the process!

Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and this outfit is what I’d love to wear. That shirt-adorable! Those shoes…oh my goodness, I could write a sonnet to those shoes, I love them so. And that awesome pencil skirt…I guarantee that you’ll find many opportunities that $23 bargain once the 14th has passed.

I may have gone overboard on the whole rose theme, but I couldn’t pass up those earrings. Too perfect for Valentine’s Day! (And at less than 3 bucks, who cares if you only wear them once a year?)

Ahoy! Sailor Tee, Conversation Pieces
White Flounce Back Skirt, Charlotte Russe
Steve Madden Rose Platform Wedges, DSW
Love Rose Earrings, Forever 21
