{Mixing Prints}

Since mixing prints is trending this season, I decided to give it a whirl. Mind you, I always thought this was a huge, no-no.

Mixing prints= hot mess!

But, after seeing fellow fashion bloggers do this, I noticed that it can be done tastefully.

I felt a bit out of my comfort zone today; but, I received quite a few compliments on my outfit. So, I think I pulled it off even though I have a few “tweaks” in mind for next time.

Miss Sophia is also “trending” in her polka dot pants! How adorable are they?! Her shirt is one of my favorites and I love how I can cuff her sleeves on her jacket! My lil fashionista <3

Keep the following in mind when mixing prints:

Make sure you have one common color. In my case, it would be “blue.”
Combine loose prints with structured prints. Loose print- top, structured print-pants.
Blend small designs with larger-scale ones. Small design- top, larger- pants (I would consider my pants “medium size print”)
No more than two prints. You don’t want to “over do it” because then you’re making your way to “hot mess” status 😉
