Que Bella – Matchy Matchy

Do you ever pair the same print together and wear them at the same time? I have done that for the past two days.
Exhibit A

Cardigan: J Crew Factory Vintage Zebra Stripe Cardigan
Skirt: J Crew Factory Vintage Zebra Stripe Mini
Tank: J Crew Perfect Fit Flower Tank in Gray
TOMS Glitter Shoes

Exhibit B

Cardigan: J Crew Factory Evening Primrose Cardigan
Skirt: J Crew Factory Evening Primrose Belle Skirt
Tank: J Crew Perfect Fit Flower Tank in Burnished Olive
GAP City Flat in Purple

But I’m not alone in this. J Crew has matched the same print together as well. The first time I saw this image I thought “What an interesting dress?” But it’s actually the No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Royal Paisley and the Talia Top in Royal Paisley (either that or a sweater in the print that hasn’t reached online yet.)

Have you ever dressed in the same print, as separates, top and bottom?

    I think it looks great together and that is what is so wonderful about separates…you can wear together or mix it up!!

    Hehe, I totally thought you were wearing dresses in both outfit pics. I've definitely purchased the same print in more than one piece before, but I haven't yet been brave enough to pair them together at the same time!

    I think they referred to that as the "hook up" in their recent catalog! I love it! I've never been brave enough to do it but after seeing you pull it off seamlessly, I want to try!!

    Wow, you work the samesies look gorgeously! I've never been brave enough to try it, either, but seeing the paisley outfit in the last J.Crew catalog made me give the idea a second thought. I'm not sure I even own anything in the same print right now. You've inspired me to go do some closet-digging!
