Rule breaker #'s 2 & 3

Horizontal stripes will make you look heavy.
Never mix and match prints.





Striped T-Shirt: H&M
Skirt: Smith's Marketplace
Flats: Aldo

I decided to go ahead and combine rules 2 and 3. Half my wardrobe consists of striped shirts, so if wearing stripes is a bad thing I guess I'm breaking that rule all the time. Also, I just couldn't bring myself to combine this skirt with any other print. Mixing and matching prints is tricky and I am not outgoing enough to mix two florals. But, mixing prints can be done on occasion, just don't take it overboard. Its best to pair a busy print with a simple print, like stripes with flowers. Also, its best to mix a dark print with a light print and even better if they are in the same color family. Its all about having a clear contrast that makes the outfit look on purpose.

Oh, and horizontal stripes do not make you look heavy. So, just wear them and love them.
