Prints Charming

January 28th, 2010

You’d think I have some sort of aversion to graphic prints since almost every item in my closet is a solid color.  The one exception is my love for stripes (as seen here, here, here and here), but even that is far and few between.  This season, I’m determined to add a bit more spice to my outfits and luckily for me, there are plenty of prints from which to choose.

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs – $530
2. Leaves of Grass – $425
3. Forever 21 – $24.80
4. Forever 21 – $12.80
5. Topshop – $60
6. Milly – $325
7. Topshop – $50
8. Forever 21 – $18.90
9. Topshop – $80

    Ahhh, why am I always drawn to the expensive things? Typical. I as well have very few prints in my closet — it’s not that I’m scared of them, but there are just so many bad one sout there. Love, love, love the Leaves of Grass dress!

    I too am trying to wear more prints this year. I not only favor solids but neutrals. So boring! The Marc Jacobs dress is an awesome way to break my bad habits.

    Sad times. Of course I had to instantly be drawn to the most expensive item.

    The best is when you can’t tell which pieces are expensive and inexpensive. I mean, realllllly.

    I tend to NEVER wear prints! I love my black wardrobe that I spruce up with cool earrings, necklaces, scarves, & belts! Maybe just maybe I’ll try and branch out this Spring because those dresses are pretty cute! haha

    i agree with you about wanting to put more prints into my life… up until now, my life has been full of solid colors, some stripes here and there but i stayed far away from prints. I think I’m ready to embrace them now that i am 24.

    I was JUST talking about how my closet seems so boring with all the solid colors– my only variation is stripes also. We’re like twins!
