There
is nothing more satisfying to me than finding an item of clothing that just
makes you feel pretty even before you put it on. This beautiful floral and
stripe printed dress is one such item. I am completely in love with the
contrasting print and the rows of feminine ruffles.
I know, I know. This dress may be a bit too busy
for some of you but I would ask you to ask yourself, “How interesting can your
combinations of black, white, gray, brown, navy and khaki really get?” Step
outside your comfort zone and try something different.
Speaking
of different, as someone who prides myself in finding unique and rare clothing
items whenever I can, this dress is from one of those rare stylish and affordable
boutiques on Etsy. EUG Fashions is physically located in Sofia, Bulgaria and
offers an array of on-trend European fashion gems including ruffled shirts, ethereal
dresses and frocks, drop crotch pants, flowing skirts and leather accessories.
I absolutely love their offerings and their prices are relatively inexpensive
for the quality and customization (if desired). My favorite thing about
shopping with EUG Fashions: Fast Express Delivery for a little extra cash. I
literally ordered this dress on June 5 and it was delivered on June 8. I have
subsequently ordered several pieces from the brand (I wore this dress in white to the Full Figured Fashion Week All White Curves At Sea Cruise) and can’t wait
to share them with you.
Although
this particular is dress makes print mixing easy, here are a few tips to help
you get it right every time:
- Always treat stripes and leopard print as a neutral.
- Floral prints and stripes are a winning combination, especially large florals and thin stripes.
- Match your colors, NOT the prints. Generally, if the colors work together, so will the print.
- One unifying color will bring the entire look together.
- Balance is a key to success. Mixing a small print with a large one strikes a perfect balance.
