I was running errands for my job the other day. On 57th street, I was stopped in my tracks when I saw Miu Miu's spring collection of bird and cat prints clashing in a cool, quirky style. I pressed my face against the window and drooled at the bird and daisy print shoes, so much so that the security guard came out with a water bottle and sprayed me, the way I do when my little fuzzy cat jumps on the kitchen table while yelling "get away!"
Okay, that last part was a lie. No one chased me away from the windows, but I did check it out for an uncomfortably long time. Why, because I love the way a once "no polka dots with plaid" taboo of fashion is now a trend for spring.
There is a certain skill needed to mix prints with out looking like a clown. As you can see above its about picking the right color combinations of colors that complement each other. Keep in mind that a bold print with a subtle small print works without turning you into Bozo.
This trend is full of personality and if done correctly, its as happy as the coming of spring!
