Print Mixology

I have been wearing a lot of solids and muted colors lately, and I’m kinda missing my bold prints and bright colors. For now, I’ll play with simple patterns: leopard and stripes with a dab of chevron mixed in.

I remember seeing my closet a few years ago filled of stripes, dots, floral and animal prints but never thought to mixed them together. Nowadays mixing patterns and prints has no boundaries. There are all sorts of tips out there on how to mix prints…but I think the key in making prints flow together is the wearer’s attitude and confidence. I’ve seen  3-4-5-even 6 different prints, wildly worn together that made my head spun…somehow the person wearing it made it work. I think all 6 would make me look like I just escaped the madhouse, but I’d love to experiment more with exotic and ikat prints. Do you think attitude is everything when it comes to fashion?

    I REALLY like this combo! These pieces are great on their own but really fab as a combination. I know what you mean about mixing everything up. These days I think just about anything goes and that your attitude and confidence play a huge role in what you wear. I think if you love what you wear people will see that.

    Love it when you’re bold :)

    I think attitude and confidence definitely play a big part in fashion. It’s all about how you work it, and how you want people to look at you. There are people who dress “plainly” yet exude a confidence that makes you think, “Wow! They’re working it.”

    You always looks great, and this look is just amazing. I love how you added a third print with your belt. What a great mix, and you’re definitely breaking old school rules, which I absolutely love!

  21. Absolutely GORGEOUUUUUUUS,wow I am so in love with this look.
    It is so bold and sexy,you look amazing in these shots..you have such a perfect flat tummy and the hair is beautifull!!

    just wow KT !!

    much love Tamara Chloé

  24. Catie says:

    What a fantastic mix of prints! I love stripes with anything, so I’m kinda biased. The silhouette is gorgeous, tho, and I love the accessories! I “spotted” it onto my http://www.socialbliss.com account :)

    I never would have thought about this pairing but it looks super chic!!

    Love this look! Love that leopard blouse, especially the leather collar! Because I’ve been digging little leather touches a lot lately. :) I really love that skirt on you too–it really shows off your fantastic figure! To be honest, I’m not nearly brave enough to try mixing prints, but like colors, it’s more baby steps for me. :*

    Excuse me, did someone say junk in the trunk? You look fab doll. Love the leopard and stripes. It’s always a good combination! I also love floral and dots too! I sent you an email about ordering a skirt. Can you respond to me when you have a chance? Thank you!

  28. Tori says:

    Gosh this is so hot! I swear you can wear anything and look amazing! I agree confidence is key to a good look and you certainly have it! 6 patterns sounds a bit much (lol) but I’m sure you can wear it well! Keep em coming love!

  29. Linda says:

    Cute photos and I agree confidence and attitude is key when it comes to looking great! Happy girls always are prettier regardless of what they wear! :)
