how to: wear matching prints.

1. Zara: Bright and flirty, this jacket and short pairing in spot on. I love that you can wear this on or off the job and still look polished.

2. ASOS: Perfectly preppy and a great way to ease into this trend. If you aren't ready to embrace the crop full force, pair it with a crisp white button down underneath!

3. Express: My good friend, Lauren, decided to get this number for an upcoming trip to Vegas. Perfectly sexy and sophisticated all in one.

4. Lands' End: Loving this carefree fruit print from Lands' End. And shoes to match?! Yes, please.

5. Zara: A little less obvious of a matching print, but perfectly paired just as much.

I cannot stop looking at full matching set outfits! Why just wear a dress with the same print all over? Incorporating the same print into a bottom and top is ideal, plus it gives you two separates to mix and match with other pieces later. If you try this look, make sure you pick a print that you won't get sick of. I'm loving all the bright and flirty florals on the racks right now, but something like this wide striped look from ASOS could be a great place to start.
