We just took a glimpse into Fall with my last post, but today I’m back into summer mode with a fun print ankara print midi dress. Not only is its P I N K hue EVERYTHING, but the print offered me yet another opportunity to delve into the mixed prints game. At times I read that mixed prints can be intimidating to some, one of the easiest ways to transition into the print toss game is by way of black & white. I’ve shown a few examples here on the blog of how to mix patterns/prints solely using black & white (see HERE, HERE, HERE). Today’s post is an example of how to do so while incorporating other colors.
This dress is perfection for casual summer wear, but for the office I opted to add in sleeves. Or shall I say statement sleeves? 😊 Have I mentioned recently exactly how cold my office is?! Seriously, like the north pole ⛄ Nonetheless, I digress…
Over to you: How are you playing with mixed prints this summer?
Until next time,
XO

Thanks Emma!! The sleeves on this top are perfection, I wish it was a button-up (with a collar) instead of a zip up :)
