Instead wear large earrings and stacked bracelets.

Dear Tannya Bernadette,

How do I find the best print dress that suits me? I seem to feel overwhelmed when I try printed dresses.
Sincerely,

Dear Picky Print Purchaser,

Prints are so fun, a great statement piece, and can be used to layer.

Finding the right print can be frustrating but here are a few tips to use while searching:

1. Choose prints that fit your body proportion: A rule of thumb when shopping for prints is, if you are small don't wear prints that are too large, if you are more voluptuous, wear prints that are a little larger. Like any rule this can be broken. I suggest you take three different print sizes to the fitting room, try them on, and see how they make you feel.

2. Pick up prints with colors you like: It is our nature to pick up the clothing with colors we most often wear. Don't think about it so much.

3. Make sure the print is attractive to you: You could spend hours trying on all the printed dresses you see but for times sake and your sanity, only take the prints that are you would wear. If you NEVER wear plaid, don't pick up the plaid, if you like floral prints, pick it up. Whatever catches your attention immediately on the hanger should be taken to the fitting room.

LASTLY.... don't rush searching for the perfect printed dress. Only purchase the one that makes you feel fabulous and makes you feel like you, not someone else.
