Busy Down Bottom

Ever see a printed skirt and say to yourself, "I love it, but I could never wear it"? Often times, women come across printed skirts and think they're too much, but there are ways to tone it down and tame it that can help you wear it more simply. So step one would be to find a plain blouse -- but not too boring -- to pair it with. The reason being that if you're busy down bottom, your top should be on the more conservative side. Step two: easy on the accessories. Yes, add-ons are my favorite thing but you don't want to overdo it in this scenario. You've got a lot going on already so it'd be wise to rethink your bold baubles for this one time. After this, I'd say step three would be to pick out shoes that aren't super simple, but will keep the attention on your skirt. Think you can do it now?

There's a real secret to pulling off this look and with my help, you should be all set! Just keep the rest of your look simple and somewhat plain and you'll nail it. Be chic and bold down bottom, but keep it there. If you wear this look right, you'll draw lots of attention! Just be sure not to clash or try too hard. The skirt itself will make enough of a statement, everything else should be "crisp and clean" as Refinery 29 says. Now there's no excuse to love this look and not be able to rock it for yourself!

Bold is memorable. But so is bad... So wear it right.
