The Art of Mixing Prints

I'd like to thank nature for being beautiful enough to wear. Myself, I'm a loyal supporter of floral and leopard prints since 1993, when I donned an animal print dress under my cap and gown. Today, when I mix patterns, I go for more abstract nature-inspired prints such as this watercolor rose print skirt from Urban Outfitters. 

When it comes to how to mix prints fashionably, there are 3 simple rules:
  • Contrast prints works, as long as each print is of similar size. One huge print will dominate the look, not compliment it.
  • Stripes go with anything. Yes, everything. 
  • Choose colors that are in the same wheel house. Too stark of a color contrast can turn your prints from flattering to funky.

Easy peasy.

Speaking of nature, check out homeboy trying to get some camera time. Cheeky little guy.

There's a lot of these little dudes where I live which is making me think the term "f*&$ like bunnies" really is true.
