Mixing

A trend this spring is mixing patterns...


Will you be wearing this trend when Spring has Sprung?

The easiest way to wear this trend is to:

wear a patterned scarf with a striped shirt and a simple jean

-or-

wear the same print in different colors (i.e. same pattern but blue for shirt and green for skirt)

-or-

wear different prints but in the same color family (i.e. floral shirt and herringbone skirt both in nude)
