Today’s look recycles the
polka dot pants that everyone loved from last year, with the addition of a striped blouse for even more of a Pop Art twist. We shot this while in Palm Springs last month, and I picked the bold pattern contrast because I thought it would be really playful given the colorful surroundings.
In case you’re wondering where this is exactly, we stayed at the Saguaro hotel in Palm Springs, which turned out to be a total Pantone paradise with an unabashed rainbow color palette that saturates its entire grounds. I’ll have even more detail about the Saguaro (pronounced Sa-WAH-ro) coming soon, as I had a lot of fun floating around their lovely pool in my giant inflatable donut raft (complete with pink frosting and sprinkles, of course). In the meantime, I hope this inspires you to take a few risks in your fashion, food choices, hobbies, career, love life, or just life in general.
Life is short; live colorfully!

Beautiful pictures! I’d really like to stay at the Saguaro, it looks like a happy place with all these bright colors.

They have one in Scottsdale as well, Lulle. It was a happy place for me, but then again anywhere that serves decent nachos qualifies as a “happy place” in my book! 😉

You sure rock the patterns! I never thought stripes and polka dots would go together, but apparently they do.

Mai, I have gotten some grief over the years for the liberties I’ve taken with pattern mixing. Life is short though, so why not? 😀
