This post is dedicated to black and white outfits. Who says that a black and white outfit can't be exciting? All you need to do is add a pattern, or in my case two patterns!? These patterns work well together because although they are fairly busy they are different enough from each other that they work well together. There is a balance between the sketchy black strokes and blocky white letters in the skirt. Mixing prints ist just a balancing act! Anyone can do it, it just takes practice!

What are your favorite prints to mix?
