Lifestyle of a Fashionista

I am a little behind with my posts this week so I’m going to mix things up this week. Tuesday Trend Day topic on Thursday: mixing prints.

Flowers and stripes, leopard and zebra, plaid and polka dots; mix up those prints! Is the idea of mixing prints scary? Yes! Can you pull off this trend? Yes!
