Print Mixing

    Every now and then I like to do a print mixing post, just to keep reminding people that it can be done.  There is one very simple rule for print mixing and  that is:  All colors should be in the same palette.  In this outfit for example, I started with this floral fabric and made a simple gathered skirt which has this lovely autumn palette of black, gray, dark brown, burnt orange, sienna, and white.  Then I added a print which had two of those colors--burnt orange and white, and then followed with two solids that were also in the same palette--sienna and dark brown.  Voila!  The outfit has harmony even with all the prints because all the colors are tied together by the palette created by the skirt.
