Today I just wanted to discuss the two and also give you some photos to look at so that you can achieve these looks as well.
Mixing Prints
Mixed printing is basically when you put to different prints together in order to create a new daring look.
When mixing prints, you should always try making sure at least one color matches. (at least that's what I do)
I noticed that when at least one color matches within both prints, the look comes together seamlessly. By following that one simple rule, your look will flow versus it looking as if you just through something together.
Here are some examples from some of my friends and I :
 |
| Floral and Black Shirt : Forever 21 Cheetah Print Skirt : Forever 21 The floral and cheetah patterns just seem to work for me. I admit I was hesitant at first but it came together nicely. |
 |
| Black with White Polka Dots Top(really a dress) : H&M White with Black Polka Dots Skirt : H&M This look will stand out where ever you go. Clashing the two different polka dot patterns make a very bold statement. |
 |
| This is my friends Mia. She is my fashion twin. We always test fashion and do what we want. I am not sure where her outfit pieces are from but I am sure a lot of it was thrifted. With this look the clash of cheetah and blue make it really stand out. |
 |
| This is my friend Porshia. I dressed her this night. This is definitely something I would wear together. The Marilyn Monroe shirt with the cat high-waisted shorts looked really cute to me. To top it all off a denim shirt was added with black tights and black pumps. This look is pretty dope to me. |
 |
| Black and White Aztec pattern dress : Asos Floral Print "CHILL OUT" tank : Forever 21 The floral and Aztec prints just seem to really stand out. I love these prints together. |
 |
| Polka Dot Dress of H&M used as a top paired with a Cheetah print skirt from Forever 21. I wore this look to Midwest Fashion Week and it turn a lot of heads. I was asked repeatedly, "What made you put those two prints together?" I replied, " I don't know! I just tried it on while at home and it looked good to me. When it comes to Fashion there are no rules. I make my own and this works. !" |
Bold/Statements Prints
This is a totally different thing from mixing prints. This is when you have the one piece that you don't want to clash with anything else. When you have the one item that stands out by itself. (That's a statement pattern piece. )
Here are some examples:
 |
| This dress is from Asos and it is very bold. It was polka dots which I love but it is very much so a statement piece. The print speaks for itself. |
 |
| This dress !!! I fell in love with it when I first saw it online. I bought it from Asos and it was something about the print; I knew I had to have it. |
 |
| This short sleeve polka dots sweater is from my Forever 21. I absolutely love this top. The polka dots are of course that statement for this outfit, along with the green bag I paired with it. |
 |
| I talked about this look in a previous post but I had to bring it back because this look definitely made a statement. The hot pink sweater from Forever 21 made this look pop especially against the velvet leggings by Hue from Macy's. |
 |
| This blazer !!!! Omg ! It is bold and everything else within this look was kept simple just so the blazer could do what it does best ; LOOK AMAZING. This look is also talked about it an older post and it was thrifted from Goodwill. |
 |
| This blue electric blue skirt paired with a paisley print in the jacket...!!!! This look is amaze-balls. ! I two pieces alone are statements but once paired together, girlllll let me tell you; it made one heck of an outfit. ! Everything is this look is from Forever 21 minus the shoes.
