I am a huge advocate of mixing prints! I think, when done correctly, the end result is super stylish. I decided to add this striped shirt (can you ever wear enough striped items during spring?!) with this feminine skirt. Usually, when mixing prints, you want to use colors in the same “color family.” This means if you are wearing cool colors, the items you are mixing should also be cool colors and vice versa with warmer colors. When you start mixing color groups the look starts moving away from chic and more towards confusing. I know there are girls out there who go against this mix and match rule I use and can ROCK it, but I am just not one of those girls (I’m sharing what works best for me). Have you ever mixed patterns? If you have, what is your “go to” rule? I would love to hear from you in the comments below.
Thanks so much for reading!

I agree to stick within the same color scheme when mixing prints, and you did it perfectly in that blue hue!
