Pattern Play

Mixing prints can be tricky.  Here are a few tips to pull it off successfully.


1. Start with a stripe
Striped clothing are becoming the new basics and can be mixed with florals, dots, or even other stripes.

2. Use accessories to play with patterns
Of course leopard is my favorite accessory to play around with! 







3. Pick a color and go! 
Have fun and choose a color that coordinates instead of clashes.



What did I wear?
I kept it tonal with dots and stripes.


Top - Francescas (last year), Skirt - J.Crew (gifted from a friend), Jewels - Stella & Dot


Added a pop of color with my shoes from J.Crew (similar)


Happy Mixing!
