Fashion· Under $30

All Mixed Up

Mixing prints can be a somewhat tricky trend – in the past, I have played it pretty safe & always included stripes (see previous looks with florals, dots & leopard).  But something about the warmer season has me stepping outside my comfort zone and taking a risk with a busier blend of prints.  Since the colors are the same in these two pieces, the patterns work well together without being too over-the-top.  And I kept the accessories minimal to further simplify the look – my new favorite cuff (under $30) and a fun statement ring that I may not take off all summer long (such a gorgeous color)!

What I’m wearing:
Forever 21 top (here) & belt, Gap skirt (on sale here; in tall & petite too!), Guess heels (on sale here), c/o Lemon Stripes cuff (here), c/o Stella & Dot ring (here), Michael Kors bag c/o TJ Maxx (similar), Ray-Ban wayfarers, Nails: Essie Boom Boom Room, Lips: CoverGirl Lip Perfection Enchantress

    You are right print mixing is def a tricky business and if done well can look amazing as you have demonstrated here. Sticking to the smae colour palette works really well. Loving the pop of colour from the bag. Summer is such a fun season I love seing people mixing and clashing their prints and colours.

    This is SO my post on Friday. Mixing florals and stripes or stripes and polka dots is cute but I'm kind of over it. I tried mixing 3 prints. Could be a hot mess but definitely time to step out of the comfort zone. These prints look great together! Love that pink bag too.

    That paisley top belongs in my closet NOW!! Beautiful!

    I'm assuming you got a small? How tall are you for reference? I feel like peplums always look bad on my body because of my height/torso.
