Prints Charming? (posted on 05/02/2012)








I am going crazy for prints right now. Especially after seeing so many lovely ones on the spring catwalks. Prints are combined liberally, sometimes to comic effect. So it is vital to start using prints in a singular fashion and then to start working with various print variants. Take one item in a print such as a short/skirt or pant and combine it with a white blouse/shirt. Voila. Tres chic! Sometimes it just works. But you do not want to be a laughing stock. Prints are great in that they convey so much of passion and happiness in so little words, solely with the fire of their color intensity. That's what makes them so attractive. Though I must warn: prints are loud, attention-grabbing and forceful. If you are not prepared for that, don't go there otherwise you'll come across as scared and not confident. Trust in your strength, hold your head high and walk tall. Everyone will follow suit and have nothing but respect.
