Layering is Fun.

Here another paper doll design for my outfit of the day.
Today outfit is about mixing and matching organic prints ^.^


Paisley, a beautiful pattern that has come a long way from its roots.
In the 60's it was adopted by hippie culture,
perhaps because it does look a bit psychedelic.


Basically, paisley shape look like a twisted teardrop.
The teardrop-resembling ornaments repeat themselves to form a
variations of exotic paisley pattern.


As you know, I love pattern, I'm hardly stay in one print for my outfit ^.^
Though mixing and matching prints is the peek of chic!


Paisley can be matched with basic prints such as polka dots or stripes.
To look even bolder, here I try matching paisley with cool camouflage print.


These complicated combo -
Paisley vs Camo look happy together as the colors match good together.
The key is to mix and match prints according to colors, not just the prints themselves.


Break up the prints with something solid to ground the look.
Just layer the print top over a solid color dress, layering is fun!


Layer a chain belt to highlight the waistline as layering can look plumpy.
Pair with sneakers can instantly add edge to any look ^.^


Mix and match is cool!
The fact is we could create a brand new outfit without buying anything new ^.^
