The individual components of this outfit and 50% random, 50% matchy, and 100% awesome. I have no idea what that math means for the outfit as a whole, but judging by the comments on IG, I think it worked out on the positive side. My favourite thing – apart from my Speedy, which is a perennial winner – is my new All Saints top, another great find from Red Pony ($18, holla!). It has a vaguely gothic vibe, and reminds me of some of the great prints that Alexander McQueen has done in the past. It’s just a t-shirt, but I think it can be nicely dressed up for the office, even on a non-Friday.

I know the colour scheme here is not very summery, but it’s nice to switch things up every now and then. Besides, I wore my leopard print pumps, and surely that counts. Leopard print is in season all year round.

This is not a new dress (in fact, it’s quite an old one, and thrifted at that), but it’s getting a new lease on life this summer. Bold prints are losing ground in my work wardrobe, but they aren’t leaving my casual one any time soon. All neutrals and no fun make Adina a boring fashun blogger, yes?

Well, if you disagree, that’s alright. I know prints, especially ones this loud, are not everyone’s cuppa and I totally get it. The minimalist in me looks at this dress and runs away screaming “my eyes, my eyes!” And it’s at that point that my inner Mrs. Roper seizes the opportunity to throw it on, and rock the hell out of the “fashion runways” at Superstore.

I’m surely not the only person who can’t quite make up her mind about what her style persona is … so, tell me: how do you reconcile your inner warring style factions?
