How- To: Pair Prints+Pattern

I’m asked frequently if it’s ok to mix prints, pattern and texture. The answer is an astounding YES! The rules are, wear what’s comfortable but don’t be afraid to be brave and take a chance. I love subtle details in separates which is the reason I paired this animal print top and striped skirt together.

Style Flip: The skirt is part of a suit that I picked apart. Here’s your opportunity to do the same. Suits are some of the most versatile options your wardrobe has. The styling possibilities are endless. The blazers can be worn with another skirt, denims, or even shorts. The skirt can be worn with a denim jacket and tee or styled with a tunic, like I did. I’ve had this suit for years. It’s a staple that is always classic in any season and is always in style.

Accessorize: I love finishing my look with a bold statement. Since I chose to wear a tunic, it’s important the rest of your outfit be in proportion. The longer blazer and tunic elongates the silhouette, therefore a long, bold statement necklace is required.
