Today, we will be talking about Floral Prints

Actually, Floral Prints has be the trend for about 2 years, but the system is not very complete and many people cannot accept it as fashionable. However, as time goes by, stores have been producing more and more clothes with flowery designs. Hence, more and more people are beginning to accept it.

WHY are floral prints popular?
Clothings with flowers are mostly made from cotton，which are breathable and very comfortable，the pretty flower designs can lend a classy feel to the look making people feel more approachable. Pants with floral prints give a retro feel about it giving it a fashionable feel.

So HOW do you look fashionable in a dress with floral prints?

DRESS:

All the dresses above has its own design around the chest or waist area，this puts the emphasis on the waist and the curves of the body giving girls the opportunity to show off their curves and slender figures...

BUT some dresses have no designs or focus, so what can we do about it? The solution is as simple as a belt...

Feeling cold? No problem。。。

A coat is a easy but very useful way. 

Tips: The coat should be simple or plain colored，or you will look like a colorful butterfly!!!

What about shoes?

A simple pair of high-heeled shoes are enough. The simpler the better.

If you prefer long dresses...

Skirts:

It can be a floral top too...

If you prefer retro...

The most important thing is: your other accessories and clothings should be as simple as possible!! This way you can let all the focus be on the Floral Prints.Too many colors & patterns will give others a very complicated and messy feel!

Color Class

Before we start choosing clothes, we should know "WHO WE ARE" which means which is our style(sexy, mature, classy，sports, causual, uniform，punk & which are our perfect colors ).
Today, I am going to share about seasonal color analysis with you, which may not be the perfect system, but really helpful if you want to get a basic idea of what shades work for you, thanks to color schemer (http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html) & TheSoko.com (http://www.thesoko.com/thesoko/article742-0.html) and not forgetting Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_analysis) for inspiration...

So what is Color Analysis?

Basically, color analysis is all about your natural coloring (hair, skin, and eyes), and how that combo complements or contrasts with the things you choose to wear (makeup colors, clothing, or even jewelry.)

Seasonal color analysis breaks people down into the four color seasons-Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

                                 

OK. LET'S START...

1. Bring one item of clothing each that’s navy blue, charcoal grey, honey beige, and soft brown. 

2. Put each piece of clothing up near your face, and observe what it does to your skin tone. 

3. If the color becomes the focus instead of your face, it’s not right. 

4. If it makes you light up, makes your eyes look brighter and your hair lobetter, you’ve found it. V.S.     

So now, you know which season you are, right?

You can find your season below, and read the descriptions to find out which type you are & see your best colors!
