PATTERN PLAY

A year or two ago I never would have thought of mixing florals into my ethnic prints and stripes, but now? The use of florals in fashion has made me more comfortable with the ultra-feminine print, and I love how these looks are translating into rooms...

I also love how they used the home textiles in the shoot to emphasize that layering effect, even though the looks themselves are mostly florals.

Have you dared to mix all three together in your home or wardrobe? How did you make it work?

    I love to mix it up but I'm not nearly as daring as some of the interiors I've seen! check out my living room tour and you'll see how daring I get! :)

    i'm on a floral kick too, just got a cute floral blouse at urban outfitters this weekend - paired it will skinny jeans and flats and i felt girly and feminine. i think large floral prints in fabric for home accents is wonderful too!
