Dots and Spots

All though I am a well-known fan of mixing leopard and stripes, I've found that polka dots also work really, really well with leopard spots.  Case in point:





For some, this combination may even work better than leopard and stripes because there is less disparity between the two prints, making the combination less jarring to the eye:

Polka dots: Thrifted Foxcroft   Leopard Spots: Target   Necklace: Juicy Couture

If you're trying pattern mixing for the first time, or prefer a harmonious mix as opposed to a clashing mix, leopard and polka dots, in a neutral color palette, may just do the trick.

I, personally, rather love it:

Top: Thrifted Foxcroft   Dress: Target  Belt: LOFT  Boots: Splendid

That isn't to say I'm giving up my old standard of leopard and stripes, but this was a successful departure for me and one I'd definitely like to try again.

Happy Monday, All!
