Yes, it’s true: mixing print is one of my favorites, but mixing textures can be just as interesting. It’s not quite as flashy but it’s a great way to add dimension to an outfit. A perfect example is how lovely this lace dress pairs with a floral printed button down.Individually these pieces are pretty neutral, but together they create the perfect amount of visual interest. I will definitely be rocking this combination over the next few months!
Do you mix textures when creating outfits?

I love that top! It looks cute over a dress, too- that’s a great idea to get more use out of a dress!

My favorite is definitely the petite rhinestone fringe necklace, so pretty!
The multi stone cocktail ring is gorgeous! And I really love the glam strand collar necklace…you’re right- picking one piece is too difficult!
I think it’s so adorable when people knot a shirt over a dress like this, but I feel like I don’t have the right pieces to try it out yet. You look so pretty, and I’m loving this giveaway! The rhinestone fringe necklace is definitely my favorite.
