Hello lovelies! Hope you're all well and good! Haven't we been having some mighty fine and alltogether very Un-English like weather!
Today I've got for you the second in my series of 'how to wear' trend posts. To check out post one just click HERE.
Todays post centers all around Print - perhaps the most fearsome of Spring/Summer 12's trends. Get it wrong and you can look like a crazy aztec warrior zebra, but get it right and you can look like a fabulous fashionista. Just how we like it.
Like last time I've created a range of outfits for you for all comfort levels.
Let's have a look.
Let's have a look.
Outfit One - Mild
Prints bring a lot of people out in a cold sweat. The all consuming panic that comes with trying to figure out how to deal with something so in your face and well... fashiony. Baby steps is my answer here. If you truly fear full on print simply incorporate it into your wardrobe in tiny little doses. This super cute Missoni Esque clutch teamed with those rather gorgeous Aztec inspired earrings are all you need to add some printed flare to a simple summer dress. Bang on trend without causing any sleepless nights.
Outfit Two - Moderate
For those of you that're feeling a littler braver a super cute vest top is probably the way to go. Allowing the rest of your outfit to remain fairly 'easy' and none terrifying the eclectic dose of patterning really puts you firmly fashion forward. This look really screams summer style to me - festival fashion maybe? The sandals and gold jewellery give a real luxurious edge whilst the skirt is just gorgeous and mutes the look a little - keeping it fashion forward rather than an explosion.
Outfit Three - Bold
For the daring ones amongst you - this is the look for you! Bold, brazen and in your face there's certainly no hiding in an outfit like this. The gorgeous dress takes centre stage whilst the bold blazer (channelling this summers 'bright' trend too) adds a zingy element. Then the contrasting clutch shows that patterns certainly don't have to be matchy matchy. The bangles and studded sandals complete a real bold but beautiful look that will certainly put you in a starring role this Summer. Team with a tan and a bright pop of lipstick! Perfection.
All items in these sets are 100% budget friendly high-st picks. For more information/links just drop me a comment below.
Have a lovely week.

I don't wear prints very much. I like them, but they don't go with my simple, classic style. When I do wear them, I like to wear understated prints, or I go for the mild look.
