Print on Print

Hello loves,

One of the things I love most about Worcester is how pretty it gets when fall takes over the city. Looking as traditional as it looks, its buildings make a beautiful contrast with the falling leaves, which ultimately creates a beautiful view to admire every day!

So, while thinking about these contrasts and blends of colours, I decided to combine some prints to create this look. So many people are afraid to mix prints because, let’s be honest – some can really end up being too much – but, the truth is, I believe that, if you follow a few simple rules, your outfit might turn from a disaster-to-be to an actual success!

Without any further adieu, my tips are – keep them quite similar and make them complement each other. Using this outfit as an example – the small print from the skirt is continued by bigger squares on the jacket that then turn into a pattern on the scarf. Also, if the colours also complement each other, the outfit will be more visually attractive. Here, my skirt is burgundy, while my scarf also has burgundy combined with beige and the blazer has a combination of beige and brown shades. You see where I’m going with this? They are all intertwined.

Basically, my advice is go for it, but still be cautious and try not to mix too many things at once, as it might ruin the outcome you’re looking for! I usually don’t mix prints, as I prefer to have 1 or 2 colours and then one printed item that stands out, but it’s always good to get out of your comfort zone, right?

On another note, I really enjoy walking around and seeing leaves of all colours falling, it is so inspiring and energizing at the same time! I feel like this rushed pace of my life is finally slowing down, as I find a place in my diary for all my responsibilities, tasks and duties. Buuut, at the same time, I have new projects coming up and loads of things that I want to get involved in (yes, I am a workaholic, not even denying it anymore…) so I never know when it will all speed up all of a sudden.

Either way, slow or fast, I am enjoying every bit of it. Everything is so unpredictable and you never know what’s coming next. The recent events that have happened in Romania have once again reminded me that and made my heart ache for the people affected. So, babes, enjoy your journey, every bit of it, and always, always choose to be kind and compassionate towards others!

I hope you enjoyed the article and I am looking forward to hear your opinion on it, suggestions of print combinations and any thoughts on it!

Much, much love, D.
