Mixing
prints has seriously become a fascination of mine, but I wasn’t sure how to
handle plaids. I did dot on dot pretty successfully (if I do say so myself)
HERE. The idea of putting the plaid button up under my favorite LBD came in a
sudden, and random, burst of inspiration, but adding the plaid shoe was an after thought.
The
plaids are different colors, but similar scales. This way, there is enough connection
and continuity between the patterns but difference too, in the color, so they don’t look
too “matchy.” My LBD and sweater tights, both black, served as a blank, neutral
canvas on which I could highlight the plaids.
I
thrifted this Ann Taylor LOFT dress ages ago and have
really come to appreciate it more with time. The plaid helps keep the outfit
somewhat more casual. See how I styled this dress totally differently HERE.
Thriftfully
Yours,
B
