In the Mix
Matching? Not on this blog! :)
What I absolutely adore about fashion as of late is seeing a lot of fab ladies (and let’s not forget the fashionable men out there) around the globe letting go of preconceived boundaries in favor of experimentation. Everything is getting brighter, bolder, and louder. Although it’s not a brand spanking new trend, one popular product of this movement is mixing patterns: Polka dots, stripes, floral, and animal prints are a few of my favorite patterns to play with…I love floral and stripes so it was natural to mix these two patterns together.
What are your favorite prints to mix?
Yea yea I know, an alien is about to pop out of my tummy any minute now.
I’m madly in love with the fullness of this skirt. When I first saw it on ASOS I knew it’s a piece I had to add to my wardrobe… It’s fun, girlie and something I’ll wear many times. With the skirt being high waisted and very mini-ish, it gives the illusion that my legs are longer than they really are. Plus the camel color pumps help elongate the legs.
Speaking of ASOS, this is quite embarrassing but it took me awhile to realize the correct pronunciation of the popular online store’s name. I have been calling it A-S-O-S (saying each letter) instead of Ay-SOS! My bestie and I even jokingly made fun of someone who pronounced it Ay-SOS (the nerve of us!).

Thanks for stopping by the blog and I hope you are having a lovely day!
Talk to you soon! xo
[…] Florals, stripes, geometrics, chevron, polka dots, abstracts, paisley, embroidery, sequins and embellishments has dominated my closet for what feels like forever so you can imagine the thrill when I realized how awesome mixing prints and patterns together no longer clashes. Well, this “trend” is nothing new, but there’s always something new and refreshing every time (see them again here, here, here, here, and here). […]
Wow love that skirt!!

OMG I LOVE THE SKIRT. Sorry, the opening sentences of all my comments are the same. BUT I REALLY DO. I just posted about this dress from ASOS (in a similar pattern) just the other day and I am so itching to buy it… but now I’m wondering if a skirt would be a better option since I would get so much more wear out of it!!! What do I do??
LOL! Get the skirt!!! Way more versatile!
Ever so cute KT…..the floral skirt looks so FUN!

The mix of prints is flawless. I am too conservative to wear such a short skirt but you have the chutzpah to do it and you look like Jessica Rabbit! And the bag looks great. You totally captured the true IRL vibrant color!
A Preponderance of Fashion
My print mixing usually consisted of polka dots and stripes. I think I did stripes & floral once, but I’m not that big on print mixing. I love yours! Great skirt. I love how you described it. :)
LOVE this outfit. Stripes + floral is one of my favorite pattern mixes as well. And I’m completely head-over-heels for your bag. *swoon*

I absolutely love mixed prints and this one is particularly beautiful.
This is really something I’m looking forward to try on!
The shoes are also to die for!

What an absolutely lovely summery look! And timed perfectly for the first day of the season too! That floral skirt is so pretty and I love the swingy shape, and the soft pattern is definitely a fun contrast to the sharper, bolder stripes of the top. And ugh, those gorgeous cap toed heels! Your legs look amazing in them and I love how they give the outfit as a whole a very polished, lady-like touch.
Yay for summer and here’s to hoping that SF behaves and give us proper weather! ;)

Beautiful. Love your style, it’s so bold, playful and confident with a twist of sexiness thrown in!
Ahhh-mazing photos and I love the mixing patterns! You look fab as always and I love the fedora, the bag, your shoes, hell I love the entire outfit! I want to try mixing leopard with something, do you have any suggestions?
P.S. The ASOS comment is hilarious! I actually pronounced it that way too and just recently foudn out it’s ay-sos! Glad I’m not the only one! Hahaha
(couldn’t calculate what 5+7 was just now for your comment moderation…LOL)
Just wanted to say that I love that skirt! I’ve worn floral shorts w/a polka dot blouse before :)
I’m not very confident with mixing prints and that’s way I try not to mix them. Instead of mixing them wrong, I better don’t mix. Maybe it’s not a good attitude, but I’m learning just seeing your post, for example, which I like, and maybe in the future I will try a similar combo.
Zadin ???
