Mixing floral and stripes feeds my love for mixing prints. When I’m not color blocking, I’m either monochroming or mixing prints. They’re usually my default, therefore being what I naturally gravitate to do. Mixing the old with the new is always interesting as you get the opportunity to go down memory lane about the way you previously styled a piece in comparison to the way you style it today.
This top is an oldie but goodie and I absolutely love it!
I previously wore it about 2 years ago to a dinner and I was able to wear it this weekend for brunch (favorite meal ever!).
Although it’s a simple designed crop top, I just absolutely love floral print. The print makes the top, yet I can’t forget about the back.
The horizontal stripes on the back of the crop top perfectly compliments the vertical stripes on the skirt.
I love asymmetrical skirts as it adds more character to garments.
The beauty of a midi asymmetric skirt is that it sometimes looks better in motion as the center of the skirt opens up to show a bit more thigh, than while standing still.
Sitting down provides a similar effect as well.
An asymmetric skirt provides variety.
What better way to accessorize than by my staple red clutch?
Pairing these sandals with this look was a no brainer as the print is very similar to the floral print that the top displays.
I like to call this necklace my Queendom necklace as it reminds me of a similar style that those in a royal family would wear.

The love of stripes is evident in the way you compliment floral with it. What I really like is how all the floral in your top goes with the floral in your shoe. Stripes are good in moderation. The way you paired your top with the skirt because of the stripes at the back of your top makes it align with each other. I think stripes are better worn with people with less flesh on their body. God bless you Oyin. Amen
