It’s easy to take on a simple style, but it takes a certain amount of confidence and boldness to wear something completely unique. Wearing bold, graphic patterns that mimic graffiti print is one way of pushing the limits of street style. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to look like they walked out of a Keith Haring piece? Style is a mode of self-expression and this Fashionista was able to communicate a fun, hip and cool vibe.
When I first encountered this Fashionista, I thought she was wearing a skirt. Much to my surprise and satisfaction – it was a dress. She added a basic black pullover with an interesting, subtle graphic to tie the look together. The harmonious balance between the bold graphic in her dress and the simple sweater made this look perfect. Wearing a sweater over a dress is an innovative way to transform a summer piece into a year round show stopper. That cool dress that you bought during the warmer months does not have to disappear into the depths of your closet (hallelujah). When the temperature during winter jumps 30 degrees in 5 hours, bundling up will only lead to sweaty pits and disappointment.
Try this pink scuba knit sweater for an interesting and sporty fabric that is making an appearance in the fashion world. Couple it with this completely one of a kind, bold, art-inspired flare dress and start catching the compliments and double takes. Her Dr. Martens and pink hair add some personal quirk and hip style to her look. First and subsequent impressions are important, and there is nothing more fun than to use fashion as an outlet for personality. Fashion is art, so adding an artistic touch to your wardrobe through unique pieces is only natural. Style is the goal; standing out from the rest is just an added benefit.
