This does not bother me (on others) if their personality matches that. Have you see the documentary 'Bill Cunningham's New York'? There are some characters there with very kooky outfits, I loved it! But nothing like that for myself, I don't have enough personality in me, lol.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-1520379649030278152012-07-11T10:14:36.036-04:002012-07-11T10:14:36.036-04:00Hi julie, I am also uncomfortable in many prints, ...Hi julie, I am also uncomfortable in many prints, but I think it has more to do with jarring colors than with a print itself.

I want to try to find it and most likely that means not being able to try it on, so any info about how it fits would be helpful.

I think it is because I am busty and the prints are just too "look at me!". However, I love all of these prints. I especially love the J Crew Bazaar print - I missed it and have been regretful and seeing it on you makes me more so!<br /><br />I love the last shot of you on the beach - what a wonderful picture!!!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-76834547677703420912012-07-10T17:44:43.720-04:002012-07-10T17:44:43.720-04:00Solids mostly - especially near my face.

Skirts are the one item I'll go all out on when it comes to patterns...well all out on by my definition which is probably still quite subdued by others definition. Even my Lilly Pulitzer dresses are patterns that aren't overwhelming or too flashy.<br />I used to work with a lady (the only person not required to wear scrubs) & wowza did she come up with some crazy loud kooky HUGE patterned outfits that overpowered & consumed any remaining available light in order to feed it's very existence - like a fashion black hole of sorts. She once wore a vest that had a little waterproof pockets on that she put little tiny live plants (violets) in & wore it to work. I should also mention that she was a relative (by marriage) to the doctor we worked for & he kinda had to hire her to shush his wife up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-3622165882288994372012-07-10T17:17:33.520-04:002012-07-10T17:17:33.520-04:00I usually wear solids-though I'm not sure why....I usually wear solids-though I'm not sure why. For some reason prints don't often appeal to me and I feel uncomfortable wearing a lot of print. When a print does appeal to me I try to figure out what it is that I'm drawn to. I have figured out that I tend to prefer geometric prints, deep color with contrast and saturated color. There is a gorgeous print with a navy background in the J Crew Fall Collection Look Book that I'm obsessed with. Plus, several of the new Trina Turk prints are gorgeous. Go figure!JulieStyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250867698565961431noreply@blogger.com
