I am a sucker for prints! I love how they give my outfits a lil’ extra punch. My fav print is the one that dress from Nordy’s. It’s super cute and would look great on a blouse as well.

I love the concept of prints, but find myself always reaching for the solid colors. Oh well! I especially like the camisole from Topshop…

I didn’t know they had a name but I love these prints, especially the purples and B&W. This works well if you’re iffy on the safari-animal print look but want some trendy patterns. That Old Navy dress looks much more expensive than it is!

I almost bought that Old Navy dress! I just didn’t know what type of undergarments to wear with it because it was quite thin and has small straps. I have such a small bust that I hate going without a bra, haha!

My fave is the Old Navy dress too–you really get your money’s worth…and then some. As for undergarments, try a strapless bra with a smooth cup. The thin fabric will reveal any lines or decoration on the bra, so the smooth cup is a must. Hope that helps!
