How to Rework Last Season’s Scarf Prints

They’re baaacckkkk!

Scarf prints are making an encore performance for Fall 2019 which is great news for your wallet because you can totally rework the scarf print pieces you already invested in last Fall!

In case you missed this trend the first time around a scarf print is usually a mix of paisley, chains, and sometimes even florals. Think about Versace’s iconic 1990s prints.

Typically on a silk or silk-like fabric it encompasses classical architecture and historical motifs, hanky hemlines and flowy silhouettes which channel a scarf-like effect that creates an opulent feel.

It’s a print that makes you feel oh-so-bougie in a GOOD way and look as though you are stylish AF.

Several fashion houses such as Burberry, Gucci, Versace and Chanel are channeling their love for nostalgia through scarf prints by creating what has been dubbed as “archive prints” this season. Archive prints are basically prints resurrected from the designs of days gone by.

This nod to yesteryear not only cerebrates the history and tradition of the house by bringing some of their biggest hits back to life it also gives the Fall 2019 collections a unique retro feel, almost as though each piece is a hidden gem discovered in a vintage shop.

Dressing like a Bougie Girl is kind of the “biggest” thing this season which makes scarf prints prime real estate and reworking your older pieces a breeze.

Last season it was all about wearing that scarf print head-to-toe but this time around think giant scarves tied in bows around your neck worn with an English Tweed suit, silky scarf print skirts paired with a classic boucle jacket and retro Parisian style scarf print dresses adorned with brassy gold buttons.

Although it’s still a bit too hot to go full blown fall with it, you can start to incorporate your scarf prints now and sprinkling them into your summer repertoire by pairing with easy peasant blouses and ooh-la-la neck scarves to create that French peasant girl effect then when things cool down bouge it up a bit by adding those heavier fabrics.

Westworld Inspired Prairie Style

Westworld is back, and my obsession with the series has reached peak levels.

I can’t get enough of it, the amazing characters, sets and of course the style.

The women of Westworld have a bit more of a prairie vibe than a wild wild west type of fashion sense, a trend that I am oh so happy to get on-board with and don’t mind snagging some inspiration from. It’s the perfect fusion of Western and Boho and it’s oh so wearable.

Think light airy fabrics paired with layered cuts, frills, pioneer worthy lace trims, delicate floral prints, high necklines, pretty calico yoke blouses, long hemlines, gingham prints and Little House on the Prairie-esc patchwork patterns in sun-faded shades.

Prairie style is one part romantic and feminine and one part wild rugged free-spirit. It’s boho meets pure hard working country.

The key to pulling off the Westworld inspired trend is all in the styling. Wear a yoke print blouse with a pair of boyfriend jeans or a pretty prairie dress with a pair of chunky boots or a long tiered prairie skirt with a ruffled top. Denim is always a good choice to pair with this trend, make sure it has some good sun-faded texture, and you can never go wrong with a saddle bag by your side. Experiment with mixing different sized prairie florals that are in the same color range to create prairie perfection. Stay away from cowboy boots so that your look doesn’t become too western, instead opt for wood sandals, lace up boho boots, suede booties and please NO cowboy hats!
