Even
though we don't get fall weather usually until the end of October, fall is my favourite season to shop for so I love browsing my favourite sites (Revolve, Shopbop, Free People, Anthropologie, Nordstrom) and saving my favourite pieces in my 'shopping cart'. Florals, animal prints, jewel tones, plaid and purple are some of the trends this season. On their own, they're pretty much classic prints and colours for fall (except maybe purple), but I'm loving how they're being mixed together: florals are being mixed with animal print (see ASTR the Label Surplice Smocked Top and RIXO Kelly Skirt, above) and animal prints are being mixed with plaid AND florals (see Free People Fields of Plaid Buttondown, above). My favourite piece I've come across so far is the NSF plaid skirt mixed with denim. I'm a sucker for anything plaid. Mixed with denim? Sold. Trend or not, I think everyone should own something plaid. Even a simple pair of plaid pants like the ones above from ZARA - it beats wearing plain black to work every day.
I've worn plaid quite a bit on the blog: a perfect plaid shirt by Free People as seen on the blog
here, mixed with more plaid
here, mixed with stripes
here and mixed with a floral blouse (back in 2013!)
here. I love mixing prints. It's fun to experiment. I'm sure I've said this on the blog before, but the easiest way to mix prints is to stick within the same colour family. Or if you're not sure about mixing prints, try wearing a leopard print shoe (or boot) with a floral top and keep your bottoms neutral, or pair a plaid headband with a floral print skirt. Or if you're still not sure, let the pros do it for you and purchase a piece that does the mixing for you!
Happy shopping!
