Dots on Dots


Mixing prints can be a difficult hurtle to tackle. Now that this has been a trend for a minute (or two), I find myself getting a little bored with mixing the basics - like stripes and florals. So I figure, why not try something different? What about mixing the same kind of print and pulling it together with the colors? My goal was to go for a more advanced print mixture. I did get a few compliments throughout the day - so I figure that my work here is done! At least until the next time I try and venture into print-mixing…

Try to look past the blur...
I had my doubts - that is for sure. But I figure that since it all tied together with the same color scheme, it works. The open dot mixed with the filled dot is a nice complement to each other. Chambray is my basic in the middle and the little pendant necklace pulls all the colors together.

I got this necklace last summer from the Lily Pulitzer pop-up store in the Hamptons. Considering the recent, super sad news about her passing, I found it apropos to mention the adorable piece. The picture does not give it justice, but there is a wishbone attached to the heart, which just about makes it one of the sweetest pieces in my collection. Just adorable.  It is actually more fitting than I initially thought seeing as how Lily was all about her prints. Well Lily, this one (or two…) is for you. ;)
