Solid colors, or maybe a basic print like stripes, tend to define my style.  Every once in awhile a print really grabs my eye like this beautify paisley.  It’s the perfect print for spring – fresh colors, a great fabric design and a flattering cut.

The challenge with prints?  Once you’ve worn it one time it’s easily recognized.  Changing the pants or the bag can bring out different colors within a print pattern but it doesn’t often hide the “re-tread.”  However, when you really love the pattern, who cares?

Are you a pattern-lover?  Or do you favor solids in your wardrobe?  Even though I usually go for solid pieces, I think I’ll explore more patterns and mix it up a bit.  I’m due for a wardrobe shake up.  How about you?
