Print Mix & Match


Melanie and I have decided to try mixing and matching prints more often. Here are a few of our findings so far. Hope this helps some of y'all get some ideas as to how to wear your Lilly. This mostly applies to wearing scarves- that's by far the easiest way to mix and match prints, so we hope we see even more of this trend following this post!
 
1) Use a "buffer" color inbetween prints.
2) Use one small print and one larger print.
3) Let the larger print and smaller print have at least two colors in common.
4) Let one color that lives in the smaller print act as your buffer color.
 
Generally, I think these rules work pretty well in theory.
 
Here are some examples.
Riley infinity scarf in Let Minnow ($78); Puffer vest in Brewster Blue ($198); Etta top in Shorely Blue Don't Be Shellfish ($148).
 
 
Murfee scarf in Multi Tusk in Sun (orig. $118, Lilly Pulitzer); Briella dress in Pink & Navy Ottoman Stripe (orig. $188, Lilly Pulitzer); Navy cardigan ($25, Target).
