Pattern Play

When it comes to style,  my theory is the best fashion blossoms when you understand that there are NO RULES!". I believe that you can wear whatever you please, as long as you rock it well! We have been taught that clothing only looks good when you match from head to toe, WRONG!   Try playing with patterns for some pretty interesting outcomes.  

Some rules and recs:

• You can wear prints on shoes, jewelry, tops, bottoms, accessories and everything in between....just not at the same time!
• The most accessible prints are florals, stripes, paisley, tribal, dots, animal prints, and plaids.  
• Mind your proportions for a balanced look.
• Color and texture create patterns....explore with both.
• Keep trying until it looks right.....this trend takes some practice for the less fashion savvy.

There are a thousand bazillions combinations, but it is up to you to make it FIERCE. A few examples: polka dots and tribal print...Prefection! Another would be stripes and florals. When you pick your own combination, remember  larger prints mixed with smaller ones will help your outfit flow. 

Good Luck!...and send us pics of your mix and match looks.
