We fashionistas live in a wonderful world. What other decade could have experienced the fashion freedom that we do today? No longer hampered by social convention (women wear pants!), seasonal limitations (faux fur in the summer! Lace in the winter!) or even age-designated limits (teens in vintage! Vintage ladies in mini skirts!) we lucky people of the 21st century have it all. We can mix and match from any decade any season, any fabric. And wonderfully...from any combination of patterns and prints!
We love the pop of color and visual texture a great combination of print and pattern creates. Who knew how cool a garden of bright blossoms look right next to a crisp ladder of black and white stripes? How modern and edgy and even, dare we say...polished a printed suit looks with a totally contrasting blouse underneath? Wow!
The stripe and floral combo seems like a go-to look for this trend. Universally flattering, the stripes on top look great on everyone and the floral skirt adds that easy, fun, whimsical edge that makes people smile. We love any chance to get creative with our looks, and combining different patterns and prints into one look is a perfect way to do it! If you don't want to go head to toe print and floral try a striped top with a voluminous floral scarf!
These looks are great for your year-round wardrobe. Florals aren't just for summer anymore! We love how colorful blooms bring fresh life into our holiday season. So mix and match to your heart's content! Some of this year's cashmere is such gorgeous color we can't wait to try it out with some fresh stripes and a floral scarf or two! xoxo DR
