Pattern Play {Chevron + Floral}


Everly Dress (last seen here).  Zara Belt.  The Row Sunglasses.  borrowed Givenchy Bag (from Dressed).  
J.Crew Bangle.  gifted Gorjana Necklace and Ring, Bauble Bar Necklace and Rachel Zoe Wedges.

 This iris patterned Givenchy bag inspired various ensembles in my mind (especially for fall, oh my goodness!) but I would be lying if I did not admit that this outfit was very much inspired by my chevron curtains. Yes my curtains! I've had this bag on display (as I mentioned here) and it played off our living room curtains so well that I decided this Everly dress would be an obvious choice to pair it with. So what do you think of the pattern play? 


You can look back to see how the previous 6 ladies have styled this bag: 

Jacey of Damsel in Dior
Audrey of Casual Glamorous
Kiara of Tobruck Ave

And stay tuned for the next 2...
