Style swap

This week I'm participating in Ginny's Style Swap Link Up and I put together this outfit inspired by one she wore a few weeks ago. As far as print mixing goes, there are a lot of great combinations, but leopard and stripes will always be one of my top favorites.

Since I don't have a military vest like Ginny, I went with my black leather one and wore jeans instead of black pants. It turned out to be a super cute, weather appropriate look, so thanks for the inspiration Ginny!

  5. It's funny - I often find myself saying that I don't like to mix prints... But then I remember stripes and leopard. I think they are the definition of a good print mix. So subtle that you hardly realise that there are two clashing prints in one outfit. At least, that's the way they always look to me, and particularly in this outfit :)
