I am not the greatest at picking out prints to wear. I tend to favor design elements, textures, and colors. Preferably all in a blinding combination. I love 99.9% of colors (NOT brown, but cognac is acceptable). Since summer isn't arriving til July, I really love the idea of wearing a flowy pea green dress with a long, chunky pumpkin colored sweater vest to anchor down your dress (for those stiff Chicago winds that will blow your dress right over your head). Cinched at the waist with a bright colored belt (turquoise suede perhaps?) and grounded with chunky wooden sandals. And some Nicole Richie hair to top it all off. Voila.
When I describe colors for design/clothing inspirations I tend to use food comparisons (eggplant purple, zesty lemon yellow, etc). For some odd reason, fashion bloggers seem to also be obsessed with food. My fixation with food is the same as fixation I have with fashion. I like learning how something is made, dissecting it, and re-creating it (sometimes I even finish a project).
And I like to eat, too. Thus a flowy dress.
