Comments:
I'm soooo dissapointed with my photo collage program. I use a free software called Shape Collage and I just love it. The thing is that I updated it to the latest version and now all my collages have a huge sign in the middle saying "Shape Collage". It's teerrrriiibblleee, so I won't be able to post collages anymore... sorry guys :(

I do like today's outfit though :)

I love how bright the orange cardi is. Even though I am mixing the striped pattern of the cardi with the floral pattern on the dress, I feel that they go well together and don't compete for attention. One outfit down, 6 more to go! Hopefully at the end of this challenge I will be better at mixing patterns!

Do you ever mix patterns? What are your suggestions on how to do it?

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this floral dress:
