You know how some things just don’t come to your head till someone else points it out?
That’s the story behind this outfit.
When I got this skirt from twenty six skirt, I immediately started thinking up ways to wear it. I knew I didn’t just want to pair it with a nice top and get going because I mean, what’s the fun in that right? and that also doesn’t say anything about my style (no statement in that).
So, yes of course the idea of mixing prints came to my head and i tried on different tops with the skirt but it wasn’t just working.
I didn’t think of trying it with this top at all till I had to do an interview and took some of my outfit options to the hostel so my friend could help me make a final decision and she was like ‘let’s see how that top will work with that skirt” . It WORKED! and I couldn’t believe I didn’t think of it first. Haha
Moral of the story – Always give your friend’s opinion a chance except that friend is like my classmate that thinks dungarees are only for babies.
The same friend did my make up (Thank you so much Tosin) and I wore this to the St.Genevieve launch and a kind photographer (I really can’t remember his social media handle) I met at the event helped me take these pictures.
Here’s a Little Tip :
I think stripes are the easiest to mix prints with, they look really good mixed with different stripes, polka dots, checks and even florals
What do you guys think?

My thoughts exactly! The horizontal/vertical combination came out perfect!
Mixing us the hardest for me, I never do because I just can't mix.
Your shoes are lovely.
Loving this entire outfit!. From the hair to the shoes. I would never have thought to pair those two prints but I will definitely try and be a bit more experimental 🙂
