PRINT IT

     You can spot a mix-master from a mile away.When it comes to risky trends, the art of mixing prints is at the top of the "There's no way I'm pulling this off" List. Good news though, once you master the art of mixing it up, your options for potential outfits in your closet will increase tremendously. Think about it , since we were kids we’ve been practicing the skill of matching, so while it may take some time to build up the courage to start pairing the unexpected, we promise it’s worth the challenge.
       When you choose to go for a look that mixes print and pattern, there's a fine line between playfully unexpected and completely bonkers. Thankfully, you're just a few styling tricks away from mixing and matching prints like a pro.
     From polka dot to plaid, to the printed pieces already in your wardrobe, all you have to do is get your creative juices flowing.

    When mixing prints, the whole is greater than each piece individually so focus on creating a cohesive look.

      Similar colors and palettes will help blend your prints, while still making a statement. If your pieces don’t share a color within their respected prints, similar backgrounds, like brown, maroon, black, blue, or grey, it might seem a little chaotic.

     The most important principle when it comes to a successful print mash-up is being bold and daring but still a tad bit cautious....we wouldn't want you to over do it now would we?

SHORTIES

 When it's July and the sun takes a break from hibernation and comes out to play....you better come out looking like it's been summer all day everyday!! It's a rare opportunity......RUN WITH IT!
       Shorts …Hot-pants, Booty shorts, Short shorts, these beauties come in  many styles, fabrics, prints and colors. Shorts just might be one of the most popular must-haves in every woman’s wardrobe. They give you the same cool, breezy feeling as a skirt, only with them on you can sit any way you want and not panic about having a peek-a-boo moment. Those who love to dress in casual, yet sexy and flattering outfits will definitely have these versatile pieces in more than one design. 

     Shorts have been around for more than half a century now, gracing the behinds of countless women since.The trick is to flatter your shape and size, balance the top with accessories up or down accordingly, and strut it!!!!!

   Actually shorts follow the same principle as skirts – it’s all about the silhouette.As for the pairing top, a good rule to keep in mind is, it's all about balance. If your shorts are loose and baggy wear a tighter top. If your shorts are shorter and tighter, loosen up on top.

 Anchor your look with accessories like a long-chain pendant, sandals, over-sized sunglasses,hats or a block-color bag to add some ‘pop’.

   All in all, no matter what body shape you have, every woman definitely can be flattering in shorts as long as you know what types of shorts look best on your silhouette. 

     Put some accessories, wear flattering footwear, and comfortable tops to disguise any 'work in progress' area you might want to hide.

     But above all, no matter what ‘problem’ you have with your body, self-confidence and your personality are and always will be the number one rule in fashion. It’s important to remember that there is no perfect body type and each shape can be fabulously styled!!! Case and Point..... look at us with our thick thighs & shorts!
