sweet william: ghost hunting. 324

ghost hunting. 324

wearing:

dress - f21

shirt - urban outfitters

shoes - banana republic

belt - goodwill

earrings & ring - f21

here is my current take on mixing patterns. black and white floral with black and white stripes. to make it even more fun, i am wearing one white earring and one black one. i added the belt to show off my waist. that combined with the length of my shirt reverses the width of the horizontal stripe. if you want to experiment with mixing patterns, start my keeping the colors similar and you wont feel like too much is going on. you don't have to go as bold as i do to get a really cool look that will set you apart.

In a world inundated by high-end and over-priced glamour and fashion, Ashley Jordan has successfully created a niche in the creative fashion industry that allows for anyone looking to shop on a dime look like a million bucks.

Starting originally as a thirty-day photo diary where Ashley challenged herself not to wear the same outfit more than once for a month without buying anything new, Sweet William has since emerged into a fashion and creative sounding board for Ashley to discuss new and old trends, ideas for piecing together used clothes for newer outfits, and tips for shopping for the look you want at a price you can afford.

The idea for Sweet William, the name, came primarily from the flower that is its name sake. But Ashley points out that the flower also draws a lot of parallels to her influence and style when it comes to design, noting that Sweet William represents organic, change, growth, and natural in both name and in design. In addition, Ashley says that above all else, the biggest inspiration for the name Sweet William comes from her grandfather, William, whom she admired greatly and was significantly influenced by.
