This week, Keren of Two Stylish Kays, and I, are MIXING PRINTS!
I have had these Aztec printed pants for about a year. I got them from Forever 21 during their end of season clearance for only $6.99. I absolutely love the colorful Aztec print and wear them often with various colored tops. 
However, this is my first time wearing these pants with a patterned shirt. My “Uber Cute” shirt was a thrift find. I purchased this striped tee from AMVETS for only a $1.00. I have told you before, that I don’t pay more $2.00 for thrifted tees. I know, I know, I sound really cheap! Maybe I am. But, so far I have not had to bend the rules – yet! I loved how this mixed prints outfit turned out. Honestly, stripes just goes well with anything. Not sure you can go wrong in using it when mixing prints. Any opinions on that?
I wanted a casual but chic look, so I added this thrifted cross body pocketbook. I thrifted this cute little black purse from the Salavation Army for $2.50. To complete the look, I slipped on my black and white sandals from Lulus which I purchased on clearance for $19.99.

Those aztec pants are stunning and I love the fierce heels and cute graphic tee. You got another winner, Ayana. The way I am saving money this week is by shopping my closet and finding the most colorful floral piece in it lol. Thaanks for hosting hun!
Ada,
Thank you hun!!! Glad that you are shopping the closet. I need to do a series on that concept. Great way to save money. Will head over to your blog to check out the floral piece. Thank you for linking up with us this week.
You are both looking great 🙂 Love the bold print on the pants.
Alex,
Thank you! The print is definitely bold huh..lol.
Thanks so much for the feature, Ayana! You look so chic! Love how you mixed stripes with the aztec print!! I would have gone for a plain basic tee, but I think the stripes take this outfit to a whole other level! LOVE IT:)

Robyn,
No problem! We definitely loved your look and appreciate you linking up with us. Thank you for the compliment. I normally go with a plain tee, but wanted to try and take it to another level as you say…lol.
Loving the mixed prints. Such a fun and trendy look, but still true to your personal style. You rocked this look, sis!

Loving those funky printed pants, keep it up! 🙂
Thank you! The funky prints are definitely different and I love it for that reason.
Incredible finds! I always tell myself I should go to the good ol thrift stores to find stuff for my kiddos and my myself! Thanks for the inspiration!
These pants are fabulous on you, Ayana! I love the print. =)

Amber,
I wish it was a great week — getting over being sick, but hanging in there.
Thanks for the compliment. The print is exactly what made me purchase it. So glad that I did.
I love those pants!!! I’ve never mixed prints but it looks amazing. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
Tammi,
Thank you! Glad that I was able to inspire you. Hope you do give it a try.
I LOVE those aztec pants! I haven’t racked up the courage to wear any YET.
Betsty
Thank you! Honey, just go for it. I bet you that you will get tons of compliments.
Both stunning as always! I love that tee!
Rebekah,
Thank you!!! You are too sweet. Isn’t the tee really cute. The price is amazing as well…lol.
What fun pants!
Karissa,
Thank you!
That top is too cute! I don’t think I could pull off those pants, but they are cute!
Carly,
Thank you! The pants definitely stayed in the closet for a little bit before I felt confident to wear it. Now, they are part of my go to looks. Step out of your comfort zone, you just never know.
I love the heart tee and the mixing of prints here.
Thank you! That heart tee had me at heart and the price was unbeatable!
Those pants look amazing and you have nailed this look like you do all the looks have seen here so far.
Seriously, stripes is the new neutral. I am convinced. It definitely goes with everything! Meanwhile, how cool is it that my new post is about mixed prints and then this came along! Great minds. hahaha. Anywho, you look great.
Vivi,
Lol… stripes are the new neutral. I hunt them down in a thrift store like they were the last. Yes, I saw your post and saw that you were also rocking the mixed prints – quite nicely, I must add. Thanks for stopping by.
There really is nothing you cant pull off! You are so stylish 🙂
Neely,
Hahaha, I know there are some pieces I cannot pull off though…lol. Thank you for the kind words.
Those pants are GREAT! I love finding a piece of clothing that’s a bit different that I can incorporate into my wardrobe.
Ashley,
Yes, you are absolutely right. Different pieces breaks up the monotony in a wardrobe for sure.
Love those aztec pants! They look killer on you too.
Deidre,
Thank you! I was a little worried about them at first, but hey, why not!
I think that is really impressive that you can manage to never spend more than $2 on a tee! The average thrift store prices in my area $5 – $7 for a tee. Sometimes I might wait for a price cut, but I’m sure you know usually you don’t wait in the thrift store, if you do it will be gone!
Lyddiegal,
Wow, $5-7 for a tee. Hmmm, I probably won’t be a thrifting diva in that area…lol. I am not paying more than $2– it’s a tee, and it’s USED!!!! Some stores try to get away with everything…urgh.
You nailed it girl! Love the stripes with the aztec. So pretty!
Kristine,
So very sweet of you! Thank you so very much for stopping by.
Loving those printed pants! They really look fab on you!
Jenn,
Thank you!!!! Appreciate you stopping by.
Nice job mixing patterns, stripes are always a win for me!
I’m so impressed at the fact that you can find so many great pieces at thrift stores! Print mixing is so bold and you definitely did it well.
Totally love the striped t-shirt!
Love the shirt!! Very cute!
Alicia,
Thank you!
Those pants were such a steal! I love the fun, bold print!
Chic on the Cheap
I love the pattern/print mixing with your comfy casual outfit. I always enjoy seeing what you thrift as each outfit is unique and “just your style”
