Mixed prints, and double stripes.
I’ve never been too great at the whole pattern mixing thing. But, it is totally one of my most favorite trends. So, I was excited to take this opportunity to challenge myself.
I didn’t get too crazy. I would have like to try a bit more. As it turns out, I just don’t have a lot of patterns in my closet! I never realized jut how plain I really am. Also, trying to put patterns and prints together is totally a complex puzzle. And I LOVE it. Anyhow, this is what I came up with. It’s not as mixxxy as it could be, but I reallllly love this outfit!
striped tee: H&M
sheer top: something from TJ maxx
scarf: Forever 21
skirt: Target
flats: Urban
clutch: Krust.
Can’t wait to check out everyone else’s posts. I Love EBEW.
Oh I think this is really cool. I love how the printed top is sheer so you can see the stripes peaking through. And of course and the small stripe/big stripe combo with the top and purse is great! I love me some stripes {if you couldn’t tell}!
Stripes ARE the best!
I LOVE how you put this together! The sheer printed top over the striped top is brilliant.
so great…love the sheer pattern over the stripes!! Your clutch rocks!!
I love your outfit! I think you should try pattern mixing more often, since you have such a nice outfit here!
I do plan to try to work more pattern mixing into my outfits!
I love your take on print-mixing! I think it is just enough without going overboard…it’s a fine line, you know! And I’m with you, I didn’t realize how few (at least mixable) prints I really had-just goes to show I need to rethink what can be mixed with what! Really digging you striped clutch too btw, is it DIY?
It is, in fact! I make purses and have an Etsy shop where I sell them

this came together so nicely! i think the drapy scarf definitely pulled it all together. its so chic and care-free looking. i need more scarves!!
You did great with this look AND I seriously, totally, completely want your clutch, please.
o i like double stripes. that’s a cool interpretation of pattern mixing.
I love how you incorporated your clutch into pattern mixing! You look great!
I always incorporate my bags! lol shameless
Oooh, I love it! The stripes on stripes is awesome, and I love the scarf! And it’s always good to see you pimping your own bag so very well. Those things are incredible!
Thank you! I like them, and its fun to work outfits around them everyday!
I love how you mixed your prints
Awesome look!

i love your look! and that bag!
You may have not gone crazy with patterns but I really like your ensemble. It’s fresh and fun but also chic. I also realized yesterday that I don’t have many patterns in my closet which is something I need to remedy. Anyway you look beautiful.
Cheers,

I love your look, great job on the challenge, and that clutch is a beauty!
Wow that bag is such a statement piece! Great outfit!
I LOVE this! Looking fab as usual.
Oh your striped clutch is just so fabulous!
amazing work. that is going on my wishlist for sure!
Love this whole look! The two different types of stripes and the oversized fun patterned top, and the flowy green scarf – all great separate and pieced together. – Katy
Love this look – one of my fave EBEW. Great pattern mixing and color palette. You look effortlessly pretty and cool.
I just found your blog and I so so so love this look! I never thought of putting a sheer top over another printed top.. so simple but looks so good!! I love this clutch too! Heading over to see what these are all about too!
