Graphically Speaking

"I heard a hole in the silence
I saw a crack in the plan but I got lazy ways
You're not a private detective take off your telephone shoes
My thoughts going out of phase
And these are the better days"

-Mind Reader, Silverchair


Polka dots, triangles and zig zags oh my!
We are all aware of the 'clashing prints' fiasco loudly and proudly sweeping the earth, and if you ain't on the band wagon, I'm inviting you to join.
I am literally, on a 1800s wooden wagon, out the front of your place right now.
Jump on and let's go for a ride!
Most famously (and successfully) carried off by Mui Mui, you'll find there is always a method behind the madness (I'm really into cliche sayings today!) So therefore, it is slightly trickier than first imagined. You'll find if you just blindly grab things from your closet and chuck them on, they (gasp!) will look like effin vomit.
The secret is focusing on the silhouette, colour palette and most importantly the type of graphic.
Don't forget the vibe!
Today I'm rocking a tribal, bohemian, African, Bahamas vibe 
(oh yes, you can make up your own vibe, and it's even cooler if it only makes sense to you!). 
All that aside…
We are sizzling sausages in the sunshine 
and boy oh boy I'm feelin' fiiiiiiiine.
