Polka Dot, Polka Dot, Polka Dot, Stripes!

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." ~ Coco Chanel

We love this quote and agree a hundred billion percent. Classy and fabulous can be done and is how we like to style our outfits.
With the nice weather in town, we have been playing with our clothes : ) and in particular, playing with patterns and prints.
Patterns are everywhere and can be at times extremely overwhelming.
How do you wear them? Put them together? Make them work so you don't look like: 'the local pattern loving eccentric girl' seen below? (even though her confidence rocks the outfit)





















































Have no fear! The Daisies are here!
We love patterns,and prints and hope you do too. Be brave, pull out your clothes and have some fun!
All of our clothing that we found is from sale finds at Zara's, the GAP, Target and H&M


On Miss Charlotte:






















































TIP 1: Wear little prints together.
Tiny prints are key to pulling off pattern on pattern.
Charlotte has a blue leopard print cardigan, over a tiny polka dot t-shirt. They work together because of the small print. It doesn't hurt your eyes, but contrasts nicely. She tones it down with the solid coral pants in the same colour tone as the t-shirt. On her feet she has on tiny print birkenstalks, that are a neutral colour and complete her creative look!


On our Fair Lady Leah:























































TIP 2: Wear the patterns in the same colour tones
Leah has on rose coloured cigarette pants with a tiny pink polka dot pattern, and a thin stripped  top. Her shirt is a neutral cream colour, which breaks up the pattern and doesn't hurt your eyes. To add a little pop to her pretty look, she has on lovely leopard print flats.

On Miss Renee Mary Michelle






















































TIP 3: Wear a dark print and a light print
The mustard yellow and navy polka dot skirt, match with the navy blue butterfly print tee because of the contrast dark and light. To balance your outfit  wear a base colour, like the navy blue. I have on a navy blue shirt, navy blue polka dots and navy blue flats. Again the small prints aren't overwhelming, but add enough for an outfit with pizazz!
