Floral and Leopard and Stripes, Oh My!

Sometime I like to mix a print or two in one outfit. And, sometimes, when I'm feeling wild, I like to mix three prints in one outfit. I was feeling wild today:

Not that this outfit is wild. It's actually pretty sedate considering that I am mixing three different prints:

Shirt: LOFT (similar) Jeans: Gap Blazer: Gap (similar)
Shoes: Nine West (similar) Earrings: Modcloth (similar) Scarf: vintage, thrifted

That's because the third print isn't co-mingled (that's a technical fashion term) with the other two. The stripes and floral are together, but the leopard is way down on my tootsies:

This keeps the outfit looking sleek and not too busy. The dark skinnies and fitted black blazer also help keep it clean.


So, remember, if you want to mix more than two prints in an outfit, try separating the prints with solids. It makes the look more intentional and less I-couldn't-find-my-neutral-shoes.

See?

Totally intentional.


Happy Monday, All!
