Leopard, Stripes, and Leather: Mixing It Up



One thing I can't get enough of lately is mixing prints.  Since two of my favorite prints include leopard print and stripes, I'm loving this leopard print statement necklace from Oasap when paired with a striped tank, as seen in this casual outfit I wore this past weekend (or casual to me, at least!) 

Prints aren't the only thing I'm mixing in this outfit, as I've also thrown together a variety of styles - laid back casuals with bold jewelry (such as this black onyx ring)...a faux leather moto jacket with a girly skirt...and preppy pieces in the form of these pumps and the J. Crew 'Edie' Purse).  With all these different prints and styles, does this outfit match?  Maybe, maybe not... but, in my opinion, as long as you're having fun and rock whatever you're wearing with confidence, there really aren't any fashion rules that can't be broken.  After all, the point of dressing up is to have fun, right? ;)

What are your favorite fashion rules to break?

What I'm Wearing:

H&M Striped Top (similar)
Faux Leather Jacket by Better B.
Skirt by Have & Have

Love, S

  14. I love the shoe and bag matching going on here... that's actually a recent fashion 'don't' that I love! We are told so often now to not be too matchy matchy but I think there is something fun about making your outfit cohesive (along with a couple of out-of-place elements of course)! It also doesn't hurt that your pieces are in the perfect shade of red!

  30. That is such a darling bag. You look wonderful in red.
    I'd love to see only one color accent sometime, to put the focus on that piece! The shoes are a bit distracting for me here.
