Weekend Re-Creation



What: Re-creating the look of a recent post with pieces assembled from across the web.


Inspiration: Olivia's mixed-print ensemble (click thumbnail above for link to original post featuring Olivia).

Why: The dangers inherent in mixing prints is what makes attempting it so tantalizing. Try  Olivia's method of safely introducing just a touch of contrasting print to an outfit in the form of an over-sized floral tote. Below, two outfits inspired by Olivia -the first of which incorporates her two-bag idea from the original post...



The Olivia Look - #1

Marc by Marc Jacobs"Deco Stripe" Dress

Kate Spade "Emerald Isle Karen" Bag

J. Crew "Ares" Sandal

Kate Spade "Villa Bridget" 
Chain-Handled Min
i




For the second Olivia-inspired look, the prints are reversed...




The Olivia Look - #2

"Knotted Satchel" Anthropologie
J. Crew "Camden Leather Brogues"    
"Dahlia Vintage Print" Dress - Asos






More next week...have a wonderful weekend!
