Mixing Prints: Part One

Here's a more casual take on the mixing prints trend for spring.

Sonia Rykiel Cardigan: about $670. It's a little pinker than it looks in this picture.


Mason by Mason Michelle Tank: On sale for $132


J. Crew Shorts: about $68


The stripes on the cardigan and the polka dots on the shorts are both strong prints, but since the colors don't clash and since the shorts are neutral colors, you can get away with two strong prints. The ombre print on the tank adds visual interest, but is subtle enough to not detract from the cardigan and shorts. I really love this look, because it not only mixes high and low (one of my fav things!), but it's cute and relaxed, but not too casual. Plus, you could easily find a high street substitute for the Sonia Rykiel sweater (I'm pretty sure Forever21 would have like 10 different options).

As for accessories, pair this with a neutral bag, some quiet but interesting jewelry, and some punchy flats (see below) and you're good to go!

J. Crew Ballet Flats: $98
