Summer Paisley Prints

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Paisley has been a trend in the background for the past few seasons,

 and I have seen quite a bit of creative variety in this print, lately  

 I like that paisley is a classic that can be adapted to all seasons

 It is seen in a lot of sizes and colors

and on many fabrics and types of clothing and accessories 

This week I am featuring two adaptations of paisley prints for summer,

in light and breezy warm weather fabrics

My first outfit is a two piece blouse and skirt set

The pieces can be worn separately or together, to give the look of a dress

This paisley print is muted and medium size,

with the shapes in light brown and peachy pinks on an ivory background

I love all the feminine details on this set-

  ruffles on the blouse and smocking on the skirt!

Accessorizing with two favorite staples from my closet-

a bronze metallic bag with convertible strap,

and metallic reptile embossed belt with pink bow 

Gold tone jewelry seemed right with the predominantly brown tones in the print

 I chose large open circle earrings, a two toned yellow and rose gold wrap bracelet

and a disc pendent necklace

Shimmery metallic gold cross strap sandals with woven wedge heels

to finish the look

Another outfit in paisley 

 This time, a sleeveless silk dress with a large paisley print mixed with a smaller border print

 The lightweight fabric and cool tones of blue and blue-green

 on an ivory background are perfect for hot summer days

This dress has a bit of a toga vibe, so I played it up with some of the accessories 

Carrying my little white 60's vintage pouch bag

decorated with a blue and white stylized print scarf as a handle

Wearing minimal summery silver tone jewelry:

My dolphin bracelet and swirling ribbon design earrings 

I chose a matching royal blue crinkle fabric head band and belt for colorful accessories 

Low wedge Grecian style strap sandals in muted gold metallic 

to finish the outfit

August blooms that can take the heat: Moss Roses

Some light and fresh summer picnic food in vintage 60's ceramic dishes

Hope everyone is having a great summer!
