Mix It Up!

Mixed prints can be a fashion challenge this season, but don’t let the concept intimidate you! Many fashion designers have sent their models down the runway with an assortment of prints, and we love the idea! Even certain celebs such as Kristin Cavillari or Rachel Bilson have donned the mixed prints trend.  Be confident and rock the varied print look!

• Colors: Stay within the same color family such as neutrals or similar color hues. 

• Scales: Try pairing dainty prints with bold, larger ones. In addition, try pairing dense prints with those more spaced out.

• Basics: Use a solid piece to help break up patterns for a clean, chic look.

• Contrasts: Geometric and edgy prints work well with softer prints. 

• Easy Styles: 
• Soft stripes paired with floral
• Nautical stripes paired with polka dot
• Color  block pieces paired with abstract prints

Sheer Determination!

Is less considered more when it comes to wearing the sheer fashion trend? Sheer materials consist of airy or transparent fabric or most commonly, chiffon.  Many gals are becoming more determined and daring when it comes to showing more skin! However, some people don’t know how to rock this trend. The key is to be tasteful in how much skin to show!  Here are some quick tips!

• LAYER . Sheer tops are great for summer, but as transition into fall, you can always dress it up or make it classy by wearing a blazer, jacket, vest, or cardigan! It’s all about playing with different layers and seeing what fits your body type!

• TANK, CAMISOLE, OR TUBE TOP. Mix a sheer top with a tank top beneath.  We recommend with sticking to the color of your sheer top. For instance, if you have a black sheer top, wear a black tank top. Other colors might be distracting and even take away from your sheer top.

• SIMPLE TOPS WITH SHEER BOTTOMS. If you have a sheer skirt, it’s best to pair it with tops that are not too loud and won’t take away from your sheer bottom.

• ACCESSORIES.  You want to show off the breezy material, so make sure to keep the accessories basic.
