Two prints? No time? No problem!

Our trend of the week is mixed prints, and it's easy to see why!  This week celebs were all about mixing and matching to create their own unique sense of style—and it paid off in a big way! Gone are the days of making sure everything matches perfectly. Now you can combine some of your favorite patterns in order to make your outfits totally you and original! Let's break down these perfectly paired ensembles!

Jessica Alba took a fun fashion risk with this crop top and flared skirt combination. While the top has a floral print, the bottom has a distinct hombre effect going from a pale pink to white with polka dots. At first the double prints threw us off, we can't help but to fall in love with this take on a classic day look. It also doesn't hurt that she is posing with her bestie, Rosario Dawson!

Blake Lively is layering up her baby bump in an extremely fashionable way. But really, would we expect anything less? Here she hits the streets of New York in a black and white plaid shirt (sound familiar at all?) and a teal pop-art skirt. How do we already know that her child is going to be the most stylish kid on the block?

Whenever Beyonce does just about anything, you know it is going to be a trend. First her super short bangs, now completely mix and matching her separates to make one phenomenal street style look. Paint splatter, flowers, stilettos—this look has it all, and of course now we have an urge to go out and buy this entire outfit from scratch!

What do you think of this week's trend? Are you mixing your prints this weekend or leaving this miss-matched look in your closet? Sound off in the comments below!
