You may be noticing a lot of prints this season. Specifically florals and fruit like pops of cherries, bright lemons and pretty pink florals. It’s interesting how these styles and our own have evolved over time. You might even say I would have steered away from these in the past. However, I now find that these prints tend to be the right touch of feminine and delicate and are also lovely to play around with. Mixing feminine dresses with sneakers happens to be a favorite of mine. Topping a floral blouse with a leather jacket adds the right bit of edgy to an outfit. There are so many possibilities.
Growing up with four older brothers my mother was determined to get a bow in my hair. So much so that when I was born she tapped one on due to the fact that all I had was peach fuzz, true story. Even with growing up with all those boys and being a bit of a tomboy my mother never let me leave the house in a mismatched outfit or without my bow. I’d be playing with all the boys but dressed to impress. It’s funny how life works. I am still playing with the boys, my four boys, and doing it in style. Back to the fruit and florals. These prints are reminiscent of the 90’s. I remember watching Clueless and dreaming that I had Cher’s closet app. She had her clothes cataloged on a computer and then like at a dry cleaners she pressed a button and poof, here they were.
I’ve learned a few things over the years. One of them being to step out of your comfort zone. For me that’s exploring prints that wouldn’t normally catch my eye. For someone else it could be trying a new bright lip color. Remember there are no rules for your own personal style. Have fun with it and take a risk.
