When I gave a talk at a MOPS meeting a few months ago about style & outfitting, one of the first things asked when I opened the floor for questions was, "So...you said that pattern mixing is a fun trend. But...how do you know what patterns to mix?"
For me, I almost always pair a stripe with some sort of floral. It's easy, it's fun, and it doesn't look like a 4 year old picked out your outfit.
Whoa. Hey there white & pasty January legs.
Belt - Anthropologie
Skirt, Mary Jane heels - Dillards
I seriously love this look. It has a sweet vintage feel, but with a chunk of purple hair and hipster glasses it isn't TOO sweet ;)
Anywho, what are your favorite patterns to mix?
love.

the stripes and florals go perfectly together here. i want to try to recreate this! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been bitten by the stripes bug. At stores, I am drawn to racks of skirts, shirts, even coats, all wearing beautiful stripes. I've succumbed to the temptation a couple of times but usually just pair them with solids. Now I'm thinking that I need to find a floral skirt!
ReplyDeleteYou're so pretty! xo
ReplyDeleteThis looks real pretty. I'm always afraid of mixing prints with prints...but maybe i'll give it a try sometime soon <3

ReplyDeleteI agree a strip is a neutral and can go with any pattern. I wear stripes all the time with polka-dots. I also love to wear colors that don't match, they brighten up your wardrobe and you look more creative.
