Look for Less: Print-Mixed

I came across this image on Pinterest the other day and absolutely fell in love with the fun & girly mix of prints.  So, I decided to put together an affordable version using similar pieces that are all under $45.  The earthy accessories add richness & help keep it from looking too sweet…which makes this the perfect summer outfit for work (with nude heels) or for weekend (with ankle-strap flats).

    Your version is so much cuter! 1- because its more affordable and 2- the skirt in the image looks like linen, such a wrinkly mess! 😉 Great finds girl.

    This is one of my favorite trends right now. I like to give it a kick of leopard sometimes.
