FROCKOLOGY Style Tip:
When wearing a bold print let it take center stage and use your accessories to direct attention to the print. This is easily accomplished by contrasting the print with a solid color that compliments but does not match exactly. Use this shade to make all your other pieces harmonious but not an exact match.
Example: Beige,Khaki,Smoke,Brown
Celadon,Leaf,Grass,Mint
You get the idea, now give it a try. It is a great way to make a bold print pop.
