How to Mix Prints

If you're anything like me, you're in a bit of a charcoal grey, faded black rut these days. If you're feeling sunny, you manage to slip into a pair of brown boots. That's the extent of it. So when I see a cheerful print, I get pretty much ecstatic. Imagine the ecstasy when I saw the combination of patterns that at first site seem to clash terribly and then when you fix your gaze on them blend into one harmonious pretty look. I think you can break the look up with a belt (I would even go with a leopard print one if you're really going for it) and wear an outfit like this to get you in the mood for Spring's pretty palette. What better way to cure the Winter blues (and blacks)?
