ALL IN THE DETAILS: Elephant Charm

What says boho summer babe better than an elephant-printed sundress? As the summer season arrives lightweight, printed sundresses are the perfect outfit go-to for the increasingly warm weather. When I spotted this Fashionista, I knew that I had to snap a few photos of her look. Her free-spirited, printed dress displays an air of breezy, effortless style that imitates the style that you would find at music festivals like Coachella. The neutral black and tan colors of the dress make it easy to style while the quirky elephant print keeps it from being boring.

After chatting with this Fashionista, I realized that she didn’t solely pick up this dress for the cuteness factor, but rather she has a connection with the symbol of elephants; she relates elephants with good luck, love and happiness. In fact, she even has an elephant tattoo by her ankle. Now this dress is a dress with meaning!

She kicked the bohemian appeal of this look up a notch by sliding into a pair of neutral sandals and accessorizing with several golden boho necklaces and a golden bracelet. Both her necklaces and bracelet accentuate her dress perfectly. This Fashionista pulled the look together with a chic pair of neutral brown sunglasses and classic black tote bag.

How To: Whether you’re more of a preppy gal or a boho babe, there’s a printed dress out there for you this summer. Shop around for a patterned dress that you love and you’ll wear it everywhere this summer. If you’re preppy, maybe go for a vibrant floral dress and style it with a floppy sunhat and a strand of pearls. If you’re feeling boho, maybe scoop up a paisley (or elephant!) printed dress and pair it with a major statement coin necklace and easy-going sandals.
