Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Tropical Prints" and it was picked by Mirelle.
It is summer time and what screams summer more than Tropical Prints? I was shopping at TJMaxx the other day and I couldn't believe all the items with tropical prints they had! They sure must be trending this year, and I certainly don't mind for I always loved fun tropical prints.
Although I already own several items in my closet with tropical prints, they are all in neutral colors and I really wanted to wear something with more color for this post. I had some reward points from JCPenney that needed to be used before they expired, so when I found this fun tropical print dress into my cart it went. After my points, I only spent $8.67 on THIS DRESS.
I ordered it on-line so I was a little shocked how short it was. I'm 5'7 with a long torso so most above-the-knee dresses are too short on me. I might only wear this at home or as a beach cover up. But I sure do love it. The fit and flare style is always one of my favorites, and the tropical print is so fun!
I styled my new dress with a chambray shirt, a large beach tote bag, and yellow flower flip flops.
Even my jewelry was tropical like this hand made beaded bracelet with sea shells and fish beads.
I chose a necklace and earrings that had beach colors in them.
Isn't the tropical print on this dress just so fun and whimsical?
Don't like to wear too much color? Here I'm wearing tropical print pants in neutral tones:
And what if you don't like prints at all? Well you can still join the tropical trend by wearing tropical colors like the bright coral I have on below:
Whether it's bright, fun tropical prints, neutral colored tropical prints, or just tropical solid colors there are many ways you can join in on the tropical style this summer!

That is a cute dress with such a fun print! You could always try pairing it with bike shorts, Bermuda shorts, or fitted capri pants underneath to wear it outside the home.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Oh yes, I would definitely only wear it with shorts underneath if I ever wore it outside the house.
DeleteThat dress is darling and what a steal! Such a cute summer look!

Thanks Jill!
DeleteWhat a great find with this dress! I adore the colors and print so much. And yes to tropical colors too!

Thanks Kathrine.
DeleteYour new dress is really cute! I have been wearing white biker shorts under some of my shorter dress like this. I really love the accessories you chose: it's a great summer look!

Thank you. Yes, if I wore it outside the home at all I would definitely wear biker shorts underneath.
DeleteThat dress is too cute to only be worn at home. Have you tried layering it over another longer skirt (a white one would be fabulous) or even over a longer white dress?
ReplyDeleteI love how happy the print is.
XOXO

Thank you. That's a good suggestion, it would have to be a thin longer skirt/dress otherwise it'd be too bulky.
DeleteI think you look fabulous in this tropical print dress! I always love to see your beautiful gardens, too!

Thank you. It's nice that I have greenery again for fashion photos. It's so hard finding a place to shoot photos at the other times of the year.
DeleteWhat a great idea to share a look that features tropical colors (in solids) for those who aren't wild about prints. That coral color is lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteBut that dress!! Oh, my gravy. What a steal. I order from JCP regularly and find their clothing is still affordable and good quality. You styled that darling dress perfectly. Love it with the denim jacket, those fun yellow sandals and your great accessories. As far as length goes, you, my friend, have an excellent figure. Hope you will enjoy wearing this whole outfit in good health all summer long.
Thank you. I might just wear it out on a super hot day...with biker shorts underneath.
DeleteThat dress was a great buy... what fun colors! I love the idea of pairing it with a chambray shirt and the fun jewelry! I also love the softer, more neutral pant look, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteBeautiful print and I love those yellow slippers!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's a beautiful dress, so perfect for summer! I love how you styled it with the chambray shirt and pretty accessories too! Also, you have great legs, you should definitely wear it. Biker shorts or black Jockey skimmies shorts would be perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! I'll probably just wear it with the shorts underneath.
DeleteLike those big flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the peonies? Thank you. They were gorgeous this year.
DeleteSuch a pretty dress! I love the print. Thanks for linking!
