I wore this on Saturday to go on a shopping and ramen trip with a friend. If I told someone I was going to wear stripes with leopard print they would think I was insane. But after seeing this look they would (hopefully) be converted! The trick to not looking totally crazy while mixing prints is to wear the same color family.
Imagine this look with a regular leopard print. I would look like a total weirdo, right? But since I paired burgundy leopard print with a stripe that also has burgundy, it doesn't look nearly as strange. I bet I still got some stares while walking through Marshalls, but I don't care!

I think this totally works - the two contrasting prints seen sort of unified because of of the colour similarities. I bet you could covert people with this!

Very subtle.. and well pulled off.
ReplyDeleteI've definitely done leopard and stripes, and yours is so subtle you wouldn't even second guess the mix. How were your noodles?
ReplyDeleteThey were delish!
