For me there was also the Japanese animé Candy Candy...<br />In French, Pippi Longstockings becomes Fifi Brindacier (Pippi Strand-of-steel), and our national Anne of Green Gables, Anne aux pignons verts. I don't know Hollie Hobbie.</p> <p>(Pippi Longstockings was another redhead wearing stripes!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801395 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 12:30:31 +0000 RobinF 1801395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all of the striped top/print scarf combos. I am not a fan of the dress and jacket together, it is just really busy. But I do think the striped top with florals works, I especially like the red stripe one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801382 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 10:32:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 1801382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely Raggedy Ann pic. I did Google her this afternoon and then remembered Raggedy Andy as well. Funny how some of these childhood things are buried quite deep in the memory. I saw quite a few Raggedy Ann Halloween costumes when I Googled!<br /> I remember Pippi Longstocking too. And the Pollyanna stories as well as all the Anne of Green Gables series and other LMMontgomery heroines. I was quite the bookworm. Oh, and Holly Hobbie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801381 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 10:20:24 +0000 krishnidoux 1801381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, this is very helpful! Print mixing is a delicate operation and your constructive feedback encourage me.<br />&nbsp;<br />shevia, I have been my hair done by a stylist who was actually recommended to me right here on this site by somebody who found out we lived in the same town. I am so happy with him.&nbsp;</p> <p>binkle, Jenni, what you say helps me. I understand what you say about the belt and now I see it too. But it needs to be belted, otherwise the knit top kind of float over from bust to hips creating a square. Which wouldn't be bad in itself, but added to the print and my small stature, I feel it's too much. I think #12 needs a different belt altogether. Or a different black and white striped top.</p> <p>Jenni, I did grow up with Raggedy Ann and Andy... but thank you for the compliment It's something in the striped arms + sleeveless dress over top + red hair.</p> <p>Suz, it's so funny you mentioned Scandinavian look, it's a look I've always admired and wanted to emulate. Thank you for your honest feedback on the jacket+dress combo. I think I'm going to try to wear it out, just to check reactions. I predict it won't be good for the most part because I work in a very laid back, rural area while living in an administrative city. But I'll do it, now you dared me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801358 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 04:33:39 +0000 Suz 1801358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the B&amp;W jacket with the floral skirt! It's clever and fun. I'm not sure I would be brave enough to wear it, but I like it. I like it best closed and belted, though, I admit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Stripes and florals work great! They are cute with the clogs -- very Scandinavian feeling. I like #12 and #13 for this look best.&nbsp;</p> <p>The colours in 7/8 are gorgeous on you. Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801357 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 04:19:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 1801357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: love 7/8 as well, gorgeous colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801355 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 04:17:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 1801355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Binkle said. #12 is the best for me, and I do like the belt. You are funny about Raggedy Ann. I thought you would be too young to remember that doll! Going to Google it/her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801352 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 03:51:10 +0000 binkle 1801352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the b&amp;w jacket with the dress combo works so well. Each pattern's busy-ness is too similar. </p> <p>The contrast of #12 stripe top and floral skirt work best for a mix, though I'm not a fan of the belted look. Also the looks with the red/white stripe are nice too (maybe not under the dress though - just my eye I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801328 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 02:06:11 +0000 Jaime 1801328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your reddish hair a lot! All of these look great - maybe the last one is a lot going on. My favorite is #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-print-mixing#post-1801299 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 00:51:44 +0000 krishnidoux 1801299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Angie's post about Spring and how it's time for print mixing, I decided to give it a try myself with things I had in my summer boxes. And here are some results.&nbsp;<br />Thank you for looking!</p> <p>(ps The last one I'm not sure. I put it there for the sake of trying every possibility. But looking at the pic, I find it looks too RaggedyAnne-y!)</p> <p>(pps: I'm on the fence for the flower print dress with the black and white jacket...I don't know if I need to adjust my eyes or if it just doesn't work).</p> </p>
