top five fall trends – mix master

The Steele Maiden: Top Five Fall Trends - Mix Master(Tulle Striped Coat; F21 Polka Dot Dress – similar here; Steve Madden studded loafers – similar here)

As promised, I’m packing this week full of the very best of Fall Fashion and showing you exactly how to get the looks for yourself.  First up – Mix Master – #1 of my Top Five Fall Trends…



The print mixing phenomenon is nothing new, but this Fall I’m predicting it’s going to be stronger than ever.  And why not? There’s nothing more modern, effortless and cool than throwing on 2 (or more!) seemingly at odd prints and pulling them off with panache.  Here, I’m showing you the fail safe way to nail this trend.  Black and white.  For the timid (or the “matching” obsessed) you can’t argue that everything black and white goes together.  But there’s a secret trick I’ve honed over the seasons.  Reverse your backgrounds and your foregrounds.  So here I’ve got a predominately white coat with black stripes paired with a mainly black dress with white dots.  See what I did?  Somehow it just works.  All the time.  I swear.  Want even more ways to master the mix? Find me here.  And don’t miss tomorrow – when I’m back with #2 of my Top Five Fall Trends.
