No need to be shy about mixing black and white prints with solids. And the simple hues are a natural for taking on layers -- a vest, a blazer, leggings under a skirt, etc.

When it comes to black and white prints, the bolder, the better. Just make sure to scale the print to your frame (smaller for smaller frames, larger for larger frames).
