Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Trend: Eclectic Mixes


Another trend this Spring and Summer is to combine prints in unexpected and eclectic ways (Above: D&G; Missoni; Prada; Louis Vuitton).  This has been a trend for awhile now (I think I posted about it for AW2010 trends) and it is still going strong.  Remember that the key to this trend is to pick prints that are within the same color family like how the purple in the blouse above at Louis Vuitton is carried over into the skirt.  This trend is great for younger women who are going for a world-traveler bohemian vibe.  If you like this trend and want to try it out, I have located some pieces that combine prints together and included them below.  Of course, another option is to combine separates that you already have in your closet together.  Below:  DKNY stretch deco print silk twill knotted dress for $325 on www.bloomingdales.com; Floral rendering cardigan for $98 on www.anthropologie.com; Joie "Ashanti" dress for $268 on www.piperlime.com; Theater company top for $124.99 on www.modcloth.com; Donna Morgan belted print jersey shift dress for $118 on www.nordstrom.com; Tribal maxi dress for $29.80 on www.forever21.com; Pippa silk paisley dot printed blouse for $128 on www.bloomingdales.com; Spots and flowers dress for $22.80 on www.forever21.com; Juicy Couture "Ditzy" garden patchwork maxi dress for $258 on www.bloomingdales.com; Joie "Gloria" silk blouse for $208 on www.nordstrom.com; Spanish rose strapless dress for $24.80 on www.forever21.com; Polka dot cardigan for $26 on www.forever21.com.
