Gingham Blouse & Leopard Clutch: The Outfit That Broke My Instagram

Remember last year when Kim Kardashian’s butt broke the Internet? Well, this outfit broke my Instagram account. Not really, but it did get around a gazillion likes and a plethora of comments in just an hour so. It’s funny how that all works. I’ll post something to my Instagram that I think is pretty fabulous and…meh…not so much buzz with my followers. But then I post something that I like, but don’t necessarily find all that fascinating, and Boom! Likes galore. The world is a mysterious place my friends.

I love mixing prints; like that’s a big secret. You can’t just throw any two or three prints together though. The key is to find a mix of prints that are in harmony with each other, both in scale and in color. There needs to be some commonality in the colors. For example, in this outfit, the animal prints and the gingham blouse are all neutral based in color. I’m not usually a fan of mixing animal prints, but the leopard clutch (not a true leopard print, but close enough) and the pumps are small enough doses on their own that they work well together. In my opinion, leopard and gingham, or any plaid really, work particularly well together. I’m not sure what it is, but the two just click (see here for another example). Two other prints that almost always seem to work together are stripes and florals (here’s an example). What are your thoughts on mixing prints? Any favorites?
