I’ve learned from my daughter that the most unexpected patterns and colors can look really good together. She’ll come out of her room with leggings, a top underneath a party dress, and a gazillion bracelets (and hair things acting as bracelets) and I’ll look at her for a second–wanting to say “what are you wearing!”–and realize that what she’s put together actually looks fun and shockingly on trend!
Even though I love an order to things I have learned to let my Fancy Girl be creative while exploring in her closet. I know this will come back to haunt me when she’s a tween/teen and we’re in a rush to get to school and she just has to try on ONE MORE outfit!
In any case, I started a board on Pinterest dedicated to mixed prints, inspired by my Fancy Girl. Specifically this and this and this. For this post however, I was inspired by picture of a woman wearing gingham and a floral skirt. Absolutely fabulous right? I know my daughter would put this together for herself, so below is an outfit I would gladly arrange for her! And the great thing about these items is you can pair them with so many other pieces of clothing.
