Why Mindy Lahiri Should Be Every Girl's Style Icon

Mindy's Style: Floral and striped. Houndstooth and plaid. All these combinations sound crazy alone, but on Mindy, they just work. The girl can pull off a mixed print with the best of 'em.

SP's Tip: "If the scales don't work together, it doesn't necessarily work — it has to sort of blend. There's an outfit on Mindy this year that I love — it's a houndstooth jacket, a paisley blouse, a plaid skirt, and lace booties. If I just described it and didn't show you, it sounds crazy — houndstooth, paisley, and plaid? But the scale of it all worked and the tonality of it worked. The houndstooth is gray and gray, the blouse was blue and gray, and the skirt was black and white. It was sort of tonal, so you just saw the color without seeing all the texture."
