Mix It Up!

Mixed prints can be a fashion challenge this season, but don’t let the concept intimidate you! Many fashion designers have sent their models down the runway with an assortment of prints, and we love the idea! Even certain celebs such as Kristin Cavillari or Rachel Bilson have donned the mixed prints trend.  Be confident and rock the varied print look!

• Colors: Stay within the same color family such as neutrals or similar color hues. 

• Scales: Try pairing dainty prints with bold, larger ones. In addition, try pairing dense prints with those more spaced out.

• Basics: Use a solid piece to help break up patterns for a clean, chic look.

• Contrasts: Geometric and edgy prints work well with softer prints. 

• Easy Styles: 
• Soft stripes paired with floral
• Nautical stripes paired with polka dot
• Color  block pieces paired with abstract prints

Max Lengths

 

• Maxis and sweaters: Gals have been rocking the maxi dress and skirts this past summer but the trend is a steal for fall as well. As the weather starts to cool down, layer an oversized sweater or cardigan to compliment the long length of a maxi. This look is a comfy, yet stylish. 

    Here are a few looks we created from our closet:  

• Mid-length skirts: We’ve all rocked the miniskirts at one point and we’re changing it up this season with knee-length hemlines!  Dress down those formal mid-length skirts with t-shirt and simple pumps or flats.
