'Mixing prints'. Never before has there been a fashion term
that can make your hair stand on end like this one!
If you’re asking 'why?' then the answer is simple. It’s really easy to look like crap.
Mixing the
wrong prints can easily leave you looking like a homeless lady with sixteen cats. That being
said, it really is a process of trial and error. For those who've never jumped off the high-dive
into mixed prints, here are some simple style ideas to get you thinking.

How cute is this look? The black and white is broken
up with a coloured, patterned dress underneath. It’s young, it’s fun and it’s
different.

A common trend when mixing. I like the contrasting of the prints. One floral design is very
busy and bright, the other is a steady black and white. The fact that
the top is quite loose, by design, makes it causal and easy.
Never Fail Stripes

Stripes are awesome to mix with. In fact, stripes are awesome in just about any capacity... ahh stripes. *Ahem* Back to mixing! I seriously love
this outfit. The stark, straight striped pants are contrasted with the light, pastel
floral top. This is such a fun way to wear mixed prints in an office environment.

Check out Missy
from PopofStyle.com wearing this great look. It’s mixed prints, but highly
coordinated too (for those of us who like a little order in our fashion – me!) She
keeps the outfit flowing by using two designs of stripes as the main focus, complimented with
a bag and accessories that match the dress. Killer.
