Mixing Patterns and Prints

Hello Loves!

It's been a while since my last post, but I decided I wanted to do something fun this time.  Anyone who knows me can tell you I have a sweet spot for vintage style.  I thought it would be nice to do sort of a modern Audrey Hepburn look with mixed prints. Yes, mixing prints!


Mixing patterns and prints can be a bold step, but it isn’t as hard as you think. It can be a fabulous way to create more variety in your outfits, which can provide interesting depth.  What I did was use one unifying hue throughout both of my patterns, and by mixing two graphic prints, I achieved a mod look.  I topped my outfit off with a low bun, over-sized pearls, and a vintage chanel bag.



Think about it, once you master print mixing you can start creating combos that you've never tried before and your potential wardrobe combinations increase exponentially.  It's definitely a must if you want to take a more individualistic and personal approach to dressingWhy not dare to be different and try it?

Have a great week!
