How to Style :: Print Mixology 101

Hi all! Welcome to the best (and, dare I say, most fashionable) class you'll ever take - Print Mixology 101! If you recall last week I put together an outfit that had a crazy mash up of prints. I gave you a couple of tips for creating your own print mash up, but I figured why not also show you a few examples for mixing and matching your prints. So if you're ready, let's get started!

J.Crew Nautical Stripe Boatneck Tee / American Retro Penny Dot Shorts / Leopard Animal Clutch Bag / ASOS Suede Pointed Espadrille Wedge / ASOS Nude Round Sunglasses / Pret-a-Beaute Raxevsky Bangle Set

If you didn't know, stripes and polka dots are the best of friends! There was never a stripe that a polka dot didn't like ;] They're one of the easiest and fun print pairings you can make. Add a little leopard into the mix and you've got yourself a party, as leopard gets along with everyone, seriously. :]

Outfitted :: Mixing Prints

Happy Monday lovers! Wow, this weekend was killer. I had all these plans of being a social butterfly when in actuality I spent the majority, if not all, my time doing school work, but I suppose that's what I get for procrastinating throughout the week. I really need to work on my time management skills.

Despite being inside sucked into the black hole that is grad school homework, I still managed to put this little number together, even though I didn't go anywhere until it was time for my 8pm work meeting...on a Sunday...on Oscar's night (yup, I was super thrilled).

This outfit is a crazy mash-up of prints, even when I thought of it in my mind I wasn't sure it would work in real-life. A graphic print cardigan, floral blouse, and leopard print booties would seem like a bit much (even my mind was like 'woah Ashlei, let's pump the breaks'), but it managed to come together and I have to admit, this is probably one of my favorite outfits so far.

Rock This!: Mixing Prints

Hi everyone! So mixing prints is still a major trend in the fashion world and I know there have been many a 'how-to' to come out since the trend first emerged, but I have yet to really put my two cents out there so in honor of my last outfit post today I'll show you how to mix prints for almost any occasion!

Two of my favorite prints to mix, stripes and florals! Dress this look up with neutral accessories and a strappy wedge in a summery color, and you're ready for a classy brunch with the girls or a casual lunch meeting.

Like most fashionistas I have a not-so-secret love for leopard prints, it can instantly upgrade any outfit. Polka dots are actually a print I don't wear too often, but I love how they're so classic & ladylike. Put the two together and you have the perfect casual Friday or 'running-around-doing-errands-all-day' Sunday outfit.

This look is probably my favorite, it is also similar to the one I wore last week. Not only do I love the two prints, but the colors are so vibrant I can't help but be happy whenever I look at it, think if you were actually wearing it how awesome you would feel, haha! :) Wear this to a dinner date or an afternoon wedding.

And there you have it! How do you all like to mix your prints? Before I go I want to mention that I noticed I had a bit of an increase in my subscribers from various sources (Google, Blog Lovin, Facebook) and I just wanted to say Hi!! *waving at my computer screen* Welcome! Thanks for subscribing, don't be shy, leave a comment and I hope you keep enjoying what you see here :) Happy Wednesday!

Outfitted: Prints & Dots

Hi everyone! I was a mixing prints fanatic for this outfit! Florals and polka dots and African-inspired prints, they're all quite different, but somehow manage to work together. I'm so happy that the warmer weather seems to be here to stay, summertime Chi is the best! I have so many little adventures planned, I can't wait to share them with you all! 

Also, in case you missed it, KATNP was featured a couple of times this past week! I had a chat with Nika from Black Fashion Bloggers as well as had this post featured in IFB's Links a la Mode! If you haven't yet, go check them out ;)

Cheers to the weekend!
