Be a dare devil...clash it up

I hate it when people say "oh you can't put that pattern with that pattern , "it's too much" or" it will clash"  I say  just do what you want and clash it up! Life should be in in technicolor sometimes and what better way to do it than with your sense of style.As seen in the photos below from my vintage range. It can work to put a simple two colour print over a more vibrant multicloured print.

You can see how it also works beautifully with this midi skirt and top combo too, available at https://marketplace.asos.com/listing/skirts/vintage-80s-navy-midi-floral-skirt/671786

Oriental prints were a big hit on the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2013 with hints of Beijing and Tokyo coming through in Asian inspired collections from Prada and Emilio Pucci. I've found some oriental inspiration to get you thinking ......

Kimonos are a great way to introduce the oriental look to your wardrobe with ease. Throw them over a pair of levi denim shorts or dress them up for evening wear. Nicole Richie does it perfectly here. They are soooooo delicious...
