How to Mix Patterns for Spring and Summer
5/17/2014 12:45:00 pmHey Pretties out there!! =D
I know I've been gone for a month or so. So sorry about that.
I'm having an important exam this month, so I have to neglect my blog for a while.
So that I can study and revise for my exam. =)
Hope you guys can understand =))
My exam is not over yet, is just that I have a little bit time in between.
So I'm gonna update =)
See how good I am =))
So from the title, I'm gonna give you guys tips on how to mix patterns.
Since now is Spring and Summer is coming up.
Patterns are really trendy right now.
The usual pattern that almost everybody know is the Polka Dots and Stripes, which never gets old.
Now recently, Floral, Tribal and Houndstooth patterns are in trend now. [ And of course more, just naming a few]
I personally love the Tribal prints and Floral patterns. =))
So how do you mix patterns while dressing up??
Usually, we match one pattern top/bottom with a plain top/bottom.
So that it doesn't look too clash or dizzy.
But why bother to dress so plain? YOLO!!
So here, I'm gonna teach you guys a secret on how to wear patterns from head to toe. =))
Here's the secret!!!
WEAR THE SAME BASE COLOUR!!
Yup, that's it!!
Just wear the same base colour of your top and bottom, and you perfectly mastered the trend of how to mix patterns and prints =))
So if you guys still don't get it. I have pics down below to show you guys =)
Leggo~!!
Outfit number 1
I've matched my black base stripe top with my black base floral skirt.
As you can see, it doesn't look too clash-y.
And it's still prefect for S/S seasons =))
And for shoes, I've matched it with my usual black heels. Heh =D
Since black goes with everything =)
Or my fav red flats =))
Skirt : Cotton On
Heels : some boutique
Flats : Joy & Peace
I know, both outfits were matched with floral skirts, it's just a coincidence =))
Or I should say, I love floral patterns really much =D *hearts*
Outfit number 2
In this outfit, I've matched this navy blue base with little white heart prints, with a navy blue base floral skirt.
Top : Lalu
Skirt : Forever 21
Heels : some boutique
Flats : Joy & Peace
Am I standing or jumping?? ;) *smirk*
I really love the effect though, the feeling is so strong. [shameless me] =D ♥
And most of all thanks to my bestie Nicole for helping me taking these pics. =) ♥♥♥
P.S. : I did not edit my pics, mostly what I did is increase the exposure level and sharpened it. That's all =)
So I have to say that Nicole really took some really 'accidentally' good pics for me, and I can't thank you enough =) ♥
Thanks!! =))
Hope you guys love this tip that I've shared with you all. =) ♥♥
My last paper of my exam is at June 10th.
So I hope you guys can be patient enough to wait for my next update =))
But I'll try to update in between.
Thank you =)
Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥

mixing patterns is really trendy at the moment. i never really thought about the base colour being the same though. Great tip. I like the skirt in the second outfit.

I tend to stick to just one patterned item when I dress up. It's either my top or bottoms, not both. But I like the second outfit you went with!
ReplyDeleteLove the F21 skirt! Its my fav piece in all the pics :) I never usually change my dressing for summer/spring, its always summer spring styles for me all year round lol!
ReplyDeleteI've never been bold enough to mix a printed top with a bottom with a different print, but you carried them perfectly! Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips ! it's really bold of you to match two different print together.. :)

ReplyDeleteboth outfits are cute! the first one is my fav :) i still need to try more prints!
ReplyDeleteIt cute. But I don't think the 2 print match together. The top probably with the plain color of skirt
