How to wear bigb, bright boho prints



Have you seen the new boho pieces in store and are wondering how to make them work? I give you my tips on creating a great look with pieces that some may consider too bold and brash to work....

 

Case and point, the Chille skirt from Dotti, a great individual piece that you'd pick up on a rack and think, 'that's cool, but how do i wear this?'...

1: Go with a theme
Use  the key piece to tie together an entire look, I went with ethnic touches such as the stacked bangles, hippie earrings and gladiator heels to ground this theme and bulk it out.

2: Pick a hue
I love the turquoise blue so chose to pick this colour out with a great nail polish, earrings and a cute little jacket. By picking a dark colour that isn’t neutral we are grounding the print as a whole so it doesn’t stand out as much.

3: Pair it with classics
The jacket I chose has a 40s feel, whilst the tank is a bare and basic classic. It pares back the trendiness of the skirt a bit and makes it more wearable.
