On Mixing Prints, Again…
This has been one of those weeks where all my clothes end up on the floor because I can’t decide what to wear (read: sick of everything I own). Normally I would just grab a dress or plain shirt and jeans and call it a day, but this week I can’t stop pairing prints!
There really is no rule of thumb when it comes to pattern mixing — at least in my opinion. People say you should find some kind of similarity between the pieces (i.e. color, shapes, etc) but really it’s a trial and error process for me. Does this plaid shirt look good with these polka dot shorts? Can I wear a horizontal stripe skirt and vertical stripe shirt? It’s really just like a puzzle and trying to find the right pieces that go together. And maybe sometimes I look like a five year old regurgitated out of the sale rack, but I’m ok with that.

Sonia! Just wanted to say how much I love your blog! Whenever I can’t figure out what to wear, feel in a clothes rut, or just need to mix things up, your posts help me put something fabulous together! Between your expertise pattern mixing and working with preschoolers all day (these kids are serious fashionistas and pattern mixing legends), I have come to embrace putting different patterns together. Thanks for all the inspiration! ~Gekas
Great skirt and love those shoes.
I love your blog! I was wondering where you got your gold evil eye bracelet ? I’ve seen it in a few of your blogs and I’m in love with it.
Much love
