Runway MY Way
Prints: Dare to be BOLD? or NOT?
Hi my luv's,
So another day, another week and the weather keeps changing. On Saturday I went to a StyleCaster event and it was full of good times. The scene was a rooftop building in downtown Manhattan with the most breathtaking view. I went accompanied by my roomie from college and the dress code was dress to impress ofcourse :-).
While mingling, my roomie and I got on the topic of prints. I happened to be wearing a floral corset top and a boyrfriend blazer with stripe lining.
While she was wearing all black with accents of leopard print in her scarf, belt and shoes. Very chic might I add.
Prints are one of the hottest trends for this fall. They have been featured in numerous runway shows. Big prints, little prints, bold not so bold. It varies. We got on the subject because she was telling me how she knows people that hate when ppl mix and match prints.
So the question was: Is it right to mix and match prints?
It is beyond right for those that choose. Personally I love prints. I think its a fun way to add to a simple outfit, a fun way to mix up something that's already hot, etc etc. Prints add personality. Depending on the type of print it is. People like to go crazy with mixing and matching and it varies on someone's personal style, but let's really think about it. Solids are plain and classic, but prints? Prints are a bold way to be self expressive in a great fashion-forward way as you can see from the photos above. Two different people and two different outfits, yet you can tell both me and my roomie's personal style. I'm not saying go overboard because, if done wrong, can just be plain ol' tacky, but there is NOTHING wrong with experimenting ;-).
Since we are on the subject of prints...

Name: Belted Brush Stroke Skirt Price: $17.80
I like this skirt. I think its bold, but in a simple way. Perfect for work with a plain black shirt or you can glam it up for a night out with the girls or a date. Throw some stockings on with black pumps, booties or knee boots and your good to go. Perfect example, I think, of being expressive with a bold brush print.
