Flowers and Stripes

Who would have thought it - flowers and stripes - yet bubbling away, slightly under the radar, this is a trend that works and works well!

I recently read an article on the Sharp Threads blog that expressed the trend of mixing print perfectly, have a look at the whole article it really is very good!

Below you will find my interpretation of this trend - I bought the outfit at Jean Paul Gaultier a while back and it works well on many levels - together, separately, and with the dress undone to reveal more of the print.  

I am a huge fan of JPG and if you have the chance to visit the shop at the back of Walton Street - do so -it is a fashionista haven with some of the best innovative accessories and the staff are very nice too! x

    Claire, you know I LOVE this!!!!!!! You look like a fashion editor at a Vogue or LVMH event! Wonderful mix of prints and materials (and the labels)! It's just the right amount of everything, as it's daring yet not intimidating. You have the knack for being chic. I send you a virtual high five for this one! Thank you and xxxx from Soleil
