Bees and Dots

I’m not one to shy away from mixing prints. Especially floral prints and stripes. Florals and stripes are old hat by now to you, I’m sure, since I tend to do this favorite combination a lot. (I’m also foreshadowing another post for this week, so act surprised when I show up in a mixed print combo again, will ya?) In fact it’s hard to believe there was a time when we didn’t mix florals and stripes. I shudder to think about those dark days. But when thinking about mixing prints, that is my go-to, my print mixing crutch. I got to thinking about it and I needed to mix it up in the print matchmaking department. And then I found these two very different pieces that aren’t always in my wheelhouse of prints: bumble bees and polka dots. A pair rarely seen in nature. 
I picked these two pieces up at Ann Taylor, a store I favor when I need classic pieces or to look like the person who pays her bills on time. (Which I do, of course. Unless I forget.)  When I put these two prints together, they said it wouldn’t work but it did.  (Actually no one said it wouldn’t work. They are all very nice at Ann Taylor.)
