Mixin' It Up...

Mixing prints can be fun or a headache! For the novice, try a classic mix of polka dots with stripes.  If you are no novice, then try a floral print with paisley or multi-print. Just have fun with it!  It will be easier than you think.

Here are few examples, mostly from Anthropologie...they always have great prints every season.
