Vogue’s Social Shopper showed great pieces to mix prints; beautiful floral caftans, striped tunics, printed shorts; all inspired by Stella McCartney’s Resort 2012 collection. I’m all about mixing prints.
So maybe you’re not quite ready to mix stripes with florals. Try, something like the blue embellished top and these pink lace shorts below. Keep it flirty and fun by adding pearls and a nude pump. If the nude pump doesn’t do it for you, a brown skinny belt and tan moccasins can change the entire outfit (makes me think of a picnic in the Hamptons)!
For those who chose to be a little bit more daring with the mixing, start off with prints in the same color family like the black and white abstract boatneck top and the grey and black star print dress. Add some strappy black pumps, some gold bangles and hoops, throw in an ivory hobo. I’d wear it to work with some green ballet flats and then through on the heels for a date or dinner with my girls!
Have fun with your style this week. Anything goes if you have confidence!
