With a season switch on the brink, it’s time we start to switch gears for a bit and start thinking about looks we can expect to pull off in a fab way for fall, this time focusing on mixing prints.  Mixing prints is applicable in all facets of life, and it comes off especially chic in work settings.  Alice + Olivia’s Shellen Neck Bowtie Sweater is the perfect base to begin your mix, and it provides such a professional appeal.  Mixing it with 10 Crosby Derek Lam’s Houndstooth pants, which is a staple print for fall, you’ve just put together a truly classic mix.  Of course it’s Loeffler Randall’s Nanette Cap Toe Booties that give your classic look just the right amount of edge and style.  Close out with all things Marc by Marc Jacobs, including his messenger bag that he does so well, and you’ve given yourself the perfect combination of classic-professional-edge!
