Stripes and leopard. It’s all about mixing prints and patterns and it isn’t as hard as you think. Spring is a great time to experiment. Think about matching a floral pencil skirt with a stripe shirt. Still not sure? Here’s an easier way.
Start with neutral colors like black, white and navy if you are feeling skittish and work from there. I took my neutral leopard heels and paired them with my tried and true black ankle pants and a new striped shirt I picked up from J.Crew Factory.
The stripe shirt gets and update with the ruffle added to the sleeve. Ruffles are really big this spring. Wearing a navy blue multi-strand necklace adds a hint of color while also staying in the neutral zone. I felt like this look was both fresh and classic. It’s updated with the ruffles and has an almost nautical feel to it too. Always in style for spring. Add an oversized ring to make a statement.

Agreed! Mixing prints isn’t nearly as hard as people think it is. I think sometimes we overthink. Just go with it!
Victoria says
Exactly. This is by far the easiest way to mix too.

Great look! I just got the same top in solid black in the mail yesterday. Can’t wait to style it and I might just have to get the striped one too. So cute!

Loving the stripes and animal print combo! Classic but with a twist with the ruffles and little beetle detail on the necklace. Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday 🙂

This is a great combination for first time pattern mixers and also just to go with a classic look. Love the added necklace.
