Outfit Post: Power Prints

Time for a little catwalk talk: Most trends stem from the “catwalk” season by season. Before we’re even ready to accept summer is over and fall is on it’s way, another season of high-fashion trends are on the way. If you do a little research, you can copy the trends and turn them into your style.

This summer was all about the power of prints. We saw head-to-toe stripes, florals, dots, zig-zags, and wacky shapes. And we saw mixtures we could never think possible. But thanks to the catwalk, we knew prints were “it.”

My approach: Observe, and follow the trends, keeping in mind personal taste.  If you skimmed my closet today, you could tell I definitely fell into the print trap this summer, but hopefully in a subtle way. I have bold prints, yet simple colors. Below, I feature a Banana Republic shirt that I have worn on its own, under a blazer, and with a cardigan, and in every case the print says it all.

Blouse: Banana Republic, Trousers: Forever 21, Earrings: Lia Sophia, Bangles: Assorted Forever 21.
I’ve been keeping these wide-leg trousers for years hoping for a chance to wear them again. Well, they’re back. Make your legs look longer with a denim trouser.
This tie-neck blouse can be easily transitioned from season to season. It’s key to find versatile blouses for blazers and cardigans.

Now go dig out those prints you’ve been hiding in your closet! It’s time to bring the catwalk to real life.

XOXO – ALEX
