Print + Print

     To be completely honest, I’ve always been a little suspicious of the idea of putting one piece of printed clothing with another. But  every now and then in the world of fashion, a girl has to try new things. One day, my mom suggested that I wear my striped tee with my floral print skirt. I tried it, and ended up enjoying the results. Yesterday I decided to wear a printed t-shirt under my beloved plaid sundress. They made a cute combination, and I wondered why I hadn’t thought to join them before!

 

In the first outfit, the top and skirt are both second-hand. The dog was just about brand new when I got him. ;)

 

Here, the t-shirt is from a thrift store, and the dress (Converse brand!) is from Target.

 

     Since I am new to this idea of print + print, I can’t give out any wonderful advice about it. So far, I think a good deal of making it work is using colors that look great together. The green on the striped shirt nearly matches a shade on the skirt, while the muted purple on the dress harmonizes well with the demure blue of the top. Another thing that I think helps out is that the patterns I paired are dissimilar. If you have never put prints together before, perhaps now is the time to try. :)
