Print Mixing
Even with popular trends like bright neons and colour-blocking, I've always been one of those people who admires the look on others but rarely wears them herself. So for the Lise Water 40th Anniversary Celebration, I decided to finally tackle print mixing. Yes, I am aware that I am totally late to the party, but should we really surprised? Anyone remember my first foray into maxi dresses?

This outfit is lovely! The two prints look great together, especially since they're both pretty calm. And of course, black and blush pink is always a good combo.

Seeing the way you style a kimono really makes me want to get one. One of those things that looks like it would be tons of fun to style.

Lovely look. Your first mixing of prints is a success :) xA
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you decided to try the mixed prints trend because you did it so well. The contrast in colour and the different sizes of prints on the dress and the kimono compliment each other so well. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAlso love those booties! I've been eyeing them in the blue :)

I've always been a fan of that Zara kimono and it pairs beautifully with the subtle print on your dress. I think it's great that you don't jump on a trend just because it's popular; you have to wear what you like and what fits in with your style, and you do it well!

That's exactly how I feel about trends! I actually recently wrote a post on it too. Don't know if you're interested but I have a little giveaway running on my blog at the moment... it's my very first giveaway so don't judge me lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, what I wanted to say was that I really like your blog. I just started following you, keep in touch.

haha sometimes I'm a bit tentative myself about trying certain trends! not just because I'm worried I won't pull it off, but for something like neon (for example) I can't help but think it'll just be a passing fad, and in a few months I'll be surrounded in sea of fluorescent items that people will suddenly find too painful to look at. love the way you did the pattern mixing! the kimono is gorgeous <3

Better late than never! I've never fully jumped on the print mixing bandwagon, either, but it's fun once in a while and I think you did it beautifully here - the black and white print mixed with a bright floral is such a lovely combination :)
ReplyDeletexox,
