Colors vs Prints

 
We all have favorite pieces in loud colors/loud prints that we really want to style but, they just wouldn't work with anything in your closet. Doesn't matter how much you try, they just wont let you have it your way.

Loud colors/loud prints both are very stubborn and biggest attention seekers. They always love to be casted as the hero of the look.  It's not a good idea to have multiple leads in your movie, it would only lead to a disaster. So, try not put too many of them together as you'll end up creating multiple distraction points in your look.  Let one piece or at max two pieces to be the center of attention and rest to only act as the supporting cast.

If the piece in question is printed, try and keep rest of the accessories plain, and vice-versa. However, if you fancy print on print or color on color trend, ensure they are not clashing with each other . They both should lead and yet be in love for a  more put together look. There are thousands of ideas to incorporate colors/prints to your looks (like through nail art, shrug or a shirt/ jacket, scarf, shades, bags, shoes and funky jewellery like ear cuffs, studs, midi rings).


 Look 1:  

I styled a loud colored one-piece dress with a printed (monochrome stripes) bag. Aqua colored ring and Blue bracelet complement the Magenta on the dress. Black gladiator sandal  offer style as much as comfort for a day of shopping.

 Look 2 :  

I styled a pencil lace skirt with a monochrome flower print crop top.  Monochrome bag is subtle enough to let me add pop of colors through Red pumps and 3rings in different colors. This look is just perfect for you to play a tease on your date.

 My Look  :  
I paired a high waisted Red pallazzo pants with a monochrome stripes crop top for a fun weekend look. They both lead and yet in love.More is less when it comes to stripes in my books, so more magic was added through my monochrome stripes bracelet that matches my top. My crave for glitter was fulfilled by a leather bracelet with gold detailing and  a gold plaited chained Guitar. Nude heels added to the height without taking the attention away from my two leads.
