STYLE GURU STYLE: Pretty Paisley

Paisley is back. Etro’s spring 2014 ready-to-wear collection featured endless combinations of bright colors, a variety of fabrics and, of course, paisley. From sweaters and pants to dresses and scarves, this show had it all. My favorite look featured a beautiful bright red dress with a dark blue paisley print. This perfect dress was long sleeve with a plunging V-neck. It was accessorized with a light brown belt around the waist. This dress also had pockets. Who doesn’t love pockets? The color was so vibrant and colorful that it gave off a little glimpse of warm weather and sunshine.

After falling in love with Etro’s spring 2014 ready-to-wear collection and all the bright, fresh looks it featured, I knew I had to incorporate this look into my wardrobe to give off a little glimmer of summer like this show did. I tried a more casual version and started with a vintage button-down bright paisley shirt. This paisley print had all kinds of tones of green, yellow, blue and the same color of red I loved from Etro’s show. I paired this fun top with black skinny jeans to balance out the brightness of my shirt. I finished off my look with my bright blue Dr. Martens to add my own personal touch. Dr. Martens are always my go-to item, and they are perfect for any occasion.

This spring 2014 show really inspired me to add some funky and fun colors into my outfit and stand out against the boring, gray winter sky.
