Printed Matter

By: Jen Shoop

It started with Lilly Pulitzer dresses — I loved the scale of the prints, and have been hooked on scouting out unique patterns since.  This season, I’ve seen so many amazing mixed-print looks and have been completely inspired.  I still don’t know if I’m ready to go all out with this look — potential for disaster being at an all-time high — but more pattern and color?!  YES.

A few favorites I’ve had my eye on —  first, this amazing paisley top (Malene Birger, on sale for ~$155) with this asymmetrical statement necklace (Gemma Redux, $425), J. Brands, and the unexpected pop of pink in this adorbs captoe ($148):

Or, how about this sweet striped top ($471 — the shape is uh-may-zing) with skinnies (white! — can’t wait to pull those out of winter hibernation), a pendant necklace (obsessed with this new brand, Hyla Dewitt — $130), and some floral print flats ($195):

Or, do you not live.and.die for this dress ($613)?!  UGH, can summer be here yet?  (Wait, no.  It says it “feels like” -2 outside up here in Chicago.  Negative two.)  Round it out with some coral earrings ($95):

Deliciously awesome.  And these affordable patterned heels ($79) — LOVE.
