Show Your Colors!
If you like wearing color, why limit yourself to just one--wear a print! This season bold prints are literally exploding from the fashion pages. Vibrant colorful florals, graphic digital (ikat) designs, or earthy tribal creations--the choice is yours! Often worn head-to-toe or in combination, you can be as adventurous as your mood desires. To successfully wear two prints together: 1) choose prints that have a color in common; 2) combine a larger, dominant print with a smaller, complimentary one. However you choose to wear print, there is no mistaking others will truly see your more colorful side!

No One Has To Know!
Think about it -- you notice more imperfections on a solid-colored wall then you do on a wall with pattern, texture or design elements. The same is true on the body! Instead of accentuating one of your less then ideal areas with a flat piece of solid color fabric (envision a fitted t-shirt over a rounder tummy area), distract the eye from it with the help of a great print and/or strategic design detailing. Prints, worn in proportion to the body, can help to create a smoothing effect by highlighting the overall shape versus the underneath "terrain". Design detailings such as ruching (small gathers in one area) and draping (an extra piece of fabric that hangs freely from the body) can be great minimizers to a rounder tummy, fuller bust, or lumpy hip and thigh area, while at the same time can function as wonderful maximizers for a smaller bust. So if your body is not perfect--no worries--no one ever has to know!!!
