Hi Beautiful People,
Color, color, and more color for summer. Bold bright colors bring a smile to my face.
How are you feeling about color and prints? Do you enjoy wearing a bold color? I believe the bolder the better. If you feel you carry your weight in the hips or you think prints on bottom make you look larger, I do not agree. Why you say? If you balance your printed piece with a solid, you can actually make your torso and legs look longer. It is the art of illusion.
For example, look at this picture below. I am haven’t for a long time been a cheerleader for my hips; but this body shaming has to stop and that starts with me. I recently purchased these Isaac Mizrahi pants from QVC. They are comfortable and the price was right. The bold print is retro and on trend; but is a classic at the same time. During the birthday month of May, my hubby and I saw this Ralph Lauren poet sleeve blouse on sale and had an extra coupon so it was way below the regular price. The sleeves are full; but the top gives me a shape and the look is slimming. I finished off the look with a Turquoise Dooney and Bourke satchel and my navy Skechers wedges. The ideal look for going out with the hubby to a movie or a concert.
Isaac Mizrahi Paisley Pants
This look is so effortless, but it is packed with comfort. Both the blouse and the pants are cotton. Wearing fabric that breathes is a must for summer, especially if you live in a climate known for high humidity.
Paisley Printed pants
Don’t be afraid of a printed pair of pants or a blouse. Get out of your comfort zone and give it a try today.
Tips on wearing prints:
1.You can put your foot in the water and try printed shoes, or a printed pants like what I work above. Enjoy the boldness of the prints.
2. I wear a solid with a print, to break up the pattern.
3. Look for quality fabric that is breathable. During the summer natural fibers is the direction I lean towards.
I am loving the bold prints this season – though I know some people are still reluctant to wear them. Great look!
Not big on wardrobe color, but I do LOVE those blue, paisley print pants! Alright, Isaac!
I LOVE wearing bright colors and prints in the summer. I love mixing prints, or doing a print with a solid….whatever works in the moment. It doesn’t get humid here in AZ, but it is scorching right now, so anything that’s light and airy too, helps out. Love your outfit, as it looks cozy and effortless, without too much thought.
Just got three pairs for the summer and love them so cool and comfortable can dress up or down.
Love the wisdom on how to rock printed pants. Also, I agree that the body shaming has to stop.

I love this pattern and the colors. This has always been one of my favorite statement pieces.
