madame mix alot

Day 13 of my 30X30 Remix Challenge and I am mixing it up with stripes + floral patterns. Print mixing has been all over the internets, and I am glad I finally took the plunge!

I was nervous to dip my toe into this trend, but mixing florals and stripes seemed a natural place to start 

(it also helps that there are so many amazing printed clothing items in stores right now!).

The images below are from two lovely bloggers who had great advice for first time print mixers. 

Helpful tips:

- Mix patterns/prints that have similar color palettes (red strips + floral skirt with red tones)

- Stripes play well with most other patterns

- Most importantly, have fun. Mix prints from your closet until you get a good match!

Other mixing pairs I am wanting to try (after my 30 day challenge): 

floral+leopard, stripes+stripes, floral+dots

Have you tried print mixing yet? Which patterns did you pair up together?

{ J.Crew Skirt {similar here, here, here} / StyleMint Broadway tee / J.Crew Ballet Flats {affordable option} / BaubleBar necklace }
