Mixing prints is 'trendy' right now. And while at first I was apprehensive (Come on, mixing completely opposite in the same color doesn't work), I found myself really enjoying all the color and texture. Rather than just a piece of clothing, it felt like art. Pattern mixing isn't just checking for color, it's understanding how to textures and prints can complement each other. Just because two prints have the same shade of blue or both contain flowers does not mean that they will mesh. But the point of mixing patterns is have fun with your clothes, to be fanciful! It's no longer about how streamlined or sophisticated you can look, but how you can challenge yourself to view your closet in a new way. And while it might take longer to choose what you're going to wear when dealing with prints, the pay-off is worth it. With all that color it's hard to not be in touch with your childish side, it's like those days when you were little that your mother allowed you to dress yourself and you threw on everything in your closet. It's the joy of not looking 'perfect', of not having to worry if something is out of place because the print will camouflage any flaws. Hurray for prints!
What's a trend you'd never thought you'd like?
