Style Theory: High streets stores are awash with fabulous prints this summer, it is all about the 60s and 70s boho look which will continue into AW14. Contrasting prints are clashed against one another on garments, to create a bold, new look. Small, repeat patterns are mixed with larger exaggerated whimsical prints. It is a move on from previous years stripes and florals combination..so it is time to be brave and start mixing it up!

Now for the best on the High Street:
Wear this Asos skirt or the Topshop skirt below with the Zara top above.
The dresses make life simple as the print has been mixed for you...
This dress looks fab on, I have bought it as one of my beach dresses and will be wearing it with gold gladiator sandals.
I have these trousers, they are really comfortable but do come up short (I am 5ft2ish) and they fit me lengthways perfectly so I would not recommend for ladies blesssed with height (see them in My Style below).
My Style:
These Topshop trousers are great for daytime as they are cool and flattering. I wore mine with a camisole top tucked in but am looking for a tops with a small pattern on to clash it up a little and make it look slightly edgier.

So are you up for the Print mix up, are you ready for the 60s and 70s fashion to descend on us again..I think I am...
As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time, Frances x
Can't wait to see you in the dress you've bought Frances, it is gorgeous. I also love the Cos one you feature, their dresses are always good on me, the only thing I am gutted about is I had a Phase Eight one in a similar style about five years ago, people always commented on it and now I am wondering why on earth I got rid of it! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's it annoying when you have got rid of a dress that is perfect a few years on..I did the same with a pink whistles coat..took it to the charity shop a few years later it would have been perfect! x
DeleteThat Topshop dress will look fabulous on you....you look amazing in the patterned trews!! I love the Topshop tile print number too! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, I do love that tile print dress..if money were no object I would buy them all! x

Looking lovely in yours - I spotted you over on Pinterest. I am kicking myself because there was a super cute skirt and top print co-ord in Topshop and it's sold out. I keep (desperately) checking back to see if it has come back in stock! x
