The #1 Easiest Way to Mix Prints - Pick two separate prints in the same color family. Here I chose very simple black + white. But mix it up with blue stripes + blue paisley print or yellow polka dots + yellow ikat print.
Interesting Fact about this Blouse - The very first time I threw this blouse on, I was in a huge hurry...plus I'm just kind of a mess in the mornings. I didn't realize until I was driving home from work that I was wearing it backwards. BUT...I have worn in backwards on purpose ever since that day including in these photos. I think it looks better (I'm bringing Kris Kross back, yo!)
So are you mixing prints this season?

@ Sandy - Thanks girl!! xo
Love this look!
I've been looking for a polka dot skirt, and I think a pencil skirt might be the way to go...
Also, anything with anchors is a love as I grew up around boats and water.

LOVE this!! I am definitely a print mixing novice - I'm just starting to try it out using a printed scarf against a printed skirt - I haven't gone full fledged printed bottom with printed top! This advice is certainly most helpful. I also love the little anchors all over your top - I'm a little nutty about nautical. :)

I love your top. I have such a hard time shopping to F21 sometimes. It's so overwhelming lol. You found a gem! Wish I would've seen it the last couple times I was there!

Haha, I'm wearing a mix of black and white prints right now (and one is polka dots)! I agree, print mixing is so easy to do when the prints are in the same color. I love this look, and that blouse is too cute!
I would have never thought the blouse was backwards! looks fab to me!
Adorable top, I love it paired with the polka dot skirt and the matching layered necklace! Makes a classic black & white combo so much more interesting! :)
The skirt is absolutely gorgeous. I want one like this so badly. I am kind of in love with the entire outfit, though.
