Fashion Dare: Prints Mixology
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Mix it up this spring by refusing to play it safe. Don’t pair your prints with boring solids, pair them with wild patterns. Keeping the prints or patterns in the same color hue and/or pairing a smaller print with a larger print will help you start your transition into mixing prints successfully and making dramatic wardrobe statements.

Fashion is nothing without a little risk, so try a few of your favorite standout prints and patterns together. Sometimes the best combinations are those that we would normally never think to mix. Try two different floral prints together or pair it with tweed. The mathematician in you might shine brighter if you explore more geometric shapes like polkadots and houdstooth. If you are a child of the 90’s you might want to try some plaids and stripes. This is a look you will have to own, so find the right mix for your personal style, I DARE YOU.
As Ani Di Franco once said, “I’ve got spots, I’ve got stripes, too”…
