We’re continuing our How Do You Wear It? feature with Fall 2012′s print on print trend.
Take a gander at how a handful of Bombshells made the look their own:
Trisha from FashionAccordingtotheMenu.com types, “One of my favorite trends this fall is print mixing. For this outfit, I took two fabulous vintage pieces with similar color schemes to create a fun yet cohesive look. I also added a pair of animal print pumps–although they are printed, they’re muted enough to let the other prints stand out. I finished the look with gold accessories.”
Kansas native Jacque from www.shoplioness.com writes, “I love floral print and I think mixing prints from the same family but different colors/textures is a safe way to take part in the trend!”
AJ from My African Closet offers, ” My trick to wearing this season’s print on print is to go for similar colours in different patterns, or similar patterns in the different colours. It’s a fun and quirky alternative to wearing the same print all over.”
Dionne says, “I am submitting my pic for your spotlight on reader’s trends.”
And lastly, Naisy Tiny from Afro Vaidosas offered her own interpretation by pairing a snake print shirt with cheetah peep toes.
Which is more your style?
If you want to submit, it’s not too late! We’ll be updating throughout the day.
We still have a few more trends left to showcase: leather, sporty chic, and baroque/ornate embellishments.

I love how the first two girls capture the print look. However, the snake print with cheetah shoes is a bit too much IMO! Doesn’t look bad though!

Love looks 1 & 2. They got it right.

I only like the 2nd look. This trend is awesome when done right. It’s like if you don’t hit it on the nail you can look like a complete fool, this trend is definitely not for everybody.

I like the last look.
November 5, 2012 11:54 am
Trisha and AJ did the darn thing. I don’t like Jacque’s prints, but honey is owning the look. That pose is on! I have to give it to her for the hair, lips and pose!

They all look nice imo. My faves are actually the first and the last.
November 5, 2012 12:10 pm
One and Two get my vote! I know it’s a trend but Florals will never go out of style to me.

Love love love the first look, wish I could pull a head to toe look off like that!! She looks lovely.
November 5, 2012 1:25 pm
I love the 2nd look.
The look #4 is O_o
November 5, 2012 1:56 pm
I don’t get this trend either but the 2nd and last looks make the most sense because as the 2nd lady (Jacque) said “…mixing prints from the same family but different colors/textures is … safe”
November 5, 2012 4:11 pm
yes #2 & #5
no #1, #3, #4
November 5, 2012 5:21 pm
I like 1 & 4 outfits. Good job to all the ladies.
November 5, 2012 8:20 pm
I really like Trisha’s edgy look, but I crave Jacque’s perfect floral look. I would rock Jacque’s look for certain.
November 5, 2012 10:53 pm
I need to know where Jacque got those high waisted pants from! Luvs! The fit is everything!

#1 #2 and 3# Thank you ladies for the inspiration.
November 6, 2012 8:31 am
I really love Jacque’s look, Trisha’s okay as well.
November 6, 2012 9:00 am
I love this new section! And I am really happy that people are giving their opinions in a postive way with no shade, highlighting only the looks that they like. Kudos FB!
November 6, 2012 12:40 pm
Do it ladies!
November 6, 2012 7:41 pm
Look # 2 — be still my heart! I love it and love her air. I also like Trisha’s look.
November 6, 2012 9:42 pm
The first and second looks are nice. The last look is probably the closest to something I would wear.

The print-on-print trend is a hit or miss thing. If you nail it you look great; if you don’t you might look a little ridiculous. I like looks 1 and 2. There is something special about prints mixing when there’s an element of each in the other …like repeated colors to create a balance. Look 3 is risky, and chica is owning it … but this trend is a little “pajama” looking to me … looks great in print, maybe not so much in real life. Look 4 is a miss … even though I give her a thumbs up for trying. The prints mixed do not complement each other at all, and her proportions are off … shoes cut her off at the ankle, and length of the skirt combine to really shorten her legs and emphasize the top half. The last look is okay…but lacks originality.
