Fashion Favorites: 4 Prints, 13 Ways

Prints add fun and interest to neutrals and other solids.  Mixed prints can be tricky to pull off, but when done well, mixed prints make for a unique look.

Are you a fan of prints?  Do you prefer wearing prints with solids or other prints?

Stripes Week: Print-tastic!

Today's striped look is a recent work outfit. 

Dress:  LOFT (Sold out on-line; May be available in stores)

It's bold in its mix of prints and graphic black and white combo, but the shapes are classic and demure.  

Blazer:  Torrid (Available here)

I thought this outfit was a little too loud for a normal work day (at my job), but I wore it for a casual Friday, so I felt like I could get away with the mixed patterns.

Clutch:  Target (old)
Flower cuff:  Claire's (old)

It's a fun and whimsical look that makes working during the summertime a little less of a bummer.  You know what they say about all work and no play?  Well, this summer has involved lots of work and not enough play, so I am compensating with some fashion play!  Gotta keep summertime from getting too dull!  :-)

Sandals:  Payless
