| Brushing up on my Mandarin. Mixing an Chinese dragon print with classic Scottish plaid. |
I do love mixing prints. I had been waiting ALLLLL season to wear this major score- a vintage Pierre Cardin wool plaid blazer in PERFECT condition. While we are just barely getting slightly cooler weather, it was just cool enough to merit a blazer over my newly acquired satin Mandarin top (Thanks, Idalia!) So plaid meet dragon. Play nice and nobody gets hurt.
The photos were taken by Kerry. We met at Peets Coffee for a Street Style SACRAMENTO meeting, and we decided to do an impromptu photo session. Let me tell you- it is strange NOT to be BEHIND the camera. I felt stiff and awkward having someone turn their lens on me! Please note: not a lick of make up so you are seeing the Bell au naturale. Enjoy.

This works very nicely! !
The queen of pattern mixing does it again! Fabulous. Love the jacket and skirt combo. Would actually love seeing you wearing that with some classic light trousers, although I admit it looks very hip with your shorts!
Sylvia- I agree! I should probably wear more trousers- can hardly wait for the weather to cool off enough to even seriously consider it, lol.
You always mix prints so perfectly! And I'm drooling over that plaid blazer - seriously, what a great find! And the mandarin style top is very pretty. I love how how the sheen of the fabric makes the dragons seem like they're illuminating one by one when they're hit by a certain light. Looks so, so cool!
Absolutely adorable clash of prints, so up my alley.
Mil besos.

I love all the tartan, in fact I posted a double tartan outfit yesterday!!!
I'm not sure which I love the most. The mandarin top or the blazer.
Great outfit hun.
I only wish it was warm enough here to wear shorts.

You are gorgeous with or without makeup.....how funny, Chloe usually takes my photos.....if anyone else offers, I feel kinda weird about it....I guess we all get used to what we get used to:)
You KNOW I adore this print mix, in every itty bitty little way possible:)
Happy Weekend!!!
Enter my Icelandic Design Knit Hat Giveaway!!
Whoa! This is classic Bella.
You have more courage and style in your pinkie than most of us have in our entire bodies. I consider myself an extreme dresser but you leave me in the dust!
I would never have thought of plaid and mandarin, but you pull it off with perfection! As usual!
*Seriously* great mix! I love those Mandarin tops, have been on the lookout for the right one forever.
you are lovely, even au natural!
Would you believe it? Today morning itself, I was thinking that I need a nice plaid blazer in my wardrobe......and here you are, sporting such a classic one in such a cool way!! Something about our wavelengths, I tell you! :)
That jacket was a real score. And have to admit I am more than a little jealous it is still nice enough for you to wear shorts. Yesterday I pulled out my winter coat.
I am swooning...that jacket...there are no words, not even going to try!
You are just too cute in those glasses, lady!
"plaid meet dragon" - love that -- you don't hear that every day! You look fantastic and I love your mixing abilities.

I like the mix and match! You look to 'hip' and I cannot make out that there is no make up :o)
Au Naturale is the way to be!!! Specially since I am too lazy to apply make everyday! :D

Love the plaid blazer and how you coordinated it. I could that blazer with a pencil skirt in maybe red, black or denim.
That jacket is KILLERRR! Fabulous pattern mixing, as always!

blazer jealousy, right here, right now!
Oh I love that plaid jacket! I tried a plaid one on a few weeks ago but it just wasn't perfect. Yours really is though!
Great print mixing, Bella! Loving that plaid blazer!
Love the glasses!!!
