Fashion experiment: Mixing polka dots with stripes

Mixing prints is one of 2010 Spring Summer's trends. For first timers (including myself), this can be tricky. The easiest combo to try out is to pair polka dots with stripes.

The tricks:
- pair prints with similar family colour or background colour and add one contrasting colour
- one print is more prominent than the other print
- minimize accessories or keep accessories simple to avoid looking 'too busy'

Other combos to try:
- Large floral with small polka dots
- Tie dye with tropical prints
- Checked with stripes or graphic prints
