It seems that mixing prints is the thing this season. Many of the fashion bloggers I follow are experimenting with stripes & florals, or dots & stripes. (I however, have yet to leave the house in a mixed print ensemble. I put it on, and stare at the mirror for 5 minutes and replace my floral skirt with jeans before I leave.)
The latest batch of Anthropologie outfits revolves around the mixed print concept. This is the one that stuck out to me:
Here are a few pieces I think echo the feel of that outfit:
Floral-Print Fitted Cardigan - Speigal - $39.00 (Orig. $49.00)
AB Studio Dot Sheath Dress - Kohl's - $21.99 (Orig. $59.00)
Metal Clasp Stretch Belt - Charlotte Russe - $8.50
Wishbone Patent Wedge - Silhouettes - $14.99 (Orig. $34) - {this plus size store is having a huge $14.99 sale}
TOTAL: $84.48
What are your thoughts on mixing prints, have you been brave enough to try it? What do you think of the outfit?
Thanks for reading,
Happy Shopping!
love this. i saw this outfit via a room somewhere and fell in love. you did a great job at finding pieces that echo the original outfit.
ReplyDeleteonly thing i wonder about is the size of the prints. in the anthro look it's small dots with larger floral. your look has the same feel, but i wonder if the two prints are to large?
ReplyDeletelove the deal on the kohls dress.
I wear polka dot shoes with a striped skirt, and I think it totally works. You just need to find a combo you like. I wish I could pull off Minnie Driver's mixed florals in "Return to Me," but I just haven't found the right prints yet.
ReplyDeleteI love the mix but I think I'm too scared to try it. Maybe two prints that are a little more subtle.
ReplyDeleteI was totally going to do this same post. so funny. Good job.
ReplyDeleteHeather J - I saw it on a room somewhere too.
ReplyDeleteHeidi Jo - You are right, my dress is much more bold in pattern. I couldn't find on that was as subtle + and I really like the Kohl's sheath, even if I wouldn't wear it with that sweater.
Love the look! I need to mix prints more.
ReplyDeleteI loved that outfit as well. Nice picks to recreate it.
