As a Dress
This is really the easiest way to wear a print since the dress does all the work for you. If you do want to accessorize your dress though, you can always add a denim vest.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Floral maxi dress, similar here, here and here
Denim vest, similar here and here
Mixing Two Neutral Prints
A more challenging way to tackle prints is by mixing them, but this path too can be simplified by wearing two neutral prints together. Since they’re both neutral, they won’t fight for attention as much as a more standout set would.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Black and white striped top, similar here, here and here
Camo leggings, similar here, here and here
Brown combat boots, similar here and here
Mixing Two Statement Prints
This is the most difficult way to wear prints. Since neither print is a neutral, they both fight for attention and things have the potential to get messy. A great way to solve this problem is by choosing prints that share a color between them (or more than one). Here I have a smaller orange/white floral print on a navy background on my top and a larger white print on an orange background on my skirt. Their common denominators are orange and white and they bring the look together.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Off-the-shoulder floral top, similar here, here and here
Floral maxi skirt, similar and ones that can be matched to the tops above here, here and here
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.

September 13, 2018 at 3:33 pmHi Kath
This old car is beautiful!
it takes a lot of art to do the mix of patterns, it’s a very risky way.
Mix of two neutral colors is the hardest to achieve because there are not many colors to match, your last look was my favorite and in which the mix was more successful. In fact it’s one of my favorite looks, as soon as I saw it on Insta I found it very beautiful.

September 19, 2018 at 1:34 amI used to feel the same way, but now I try to step out of my comfort zone with what I wear not in the sense that I don’t like the look, but in the sense that I try not to care if other people will hate it 🙂
