Mixing Prints....the final frontier


Okay, I have a grand discovery to release upon the world--mixing prints. While perhaps not TRULY revolutionary it certainly feels like something new. Not only has it completely opened an entire world of new combinations in my closet, it feels effortless and chic. Like "oh this? yeah, it's true I did just throw these things on and although they don't initially seem like they would match at all, they do somehow look fresh." Imagine the possibilities!

Floral and stripes!


















Checks and Polka dots!

















Leopard print and wide stripes!


















Feeling slightly gun-shy? For a simple way to dip your feet into the wide world of mixing prints, try it first with accessories. Think of it as the baby pool of the mixing prints world. It's easy (and very little commitment) to play around with a floral scarf for instance:


See? Not too scary at all--right? And effortlessly chic in a "I'm not trying too hard, I'm hardly trying at all" kind of a way.

Anyone tried any combination of mixing prints they're particularly excited about? Rocked any houndstooth recently? Stripes and polka dots? Let me know.
