Hello, pals. So the moonlight was lovely last night and I for one am holding out hope for a sweet Summer. My posts have been pensive of late, so thought I'd break you off a little something frothy with all of that heaviness I've been feeling of late. And that comes in the form of a mini trend I've been spotting this Summer when it come to prints- everything's coming up pineapples- from shoes to dresses to accessories.
In the window of a favorite store in my neighborhood (closed this am on my walk with Khan) was this Sea dress- and since I walk by this store every day and get some much needed walk by fashion inspiration, I think they're right on the money with what's trending.
Allow me to say this- I would never rock this trend. It's just not my thing and it reminds me of bad Florida style from yesteryear and is altogether too preppy for me. But from the looks of what's in store, this is one trend that has many feeling fruity, and maybe that sweet harvest moon has something to do with it. I'm not really the type of girl to rock a fruit print of any kind, really. Maybe cherries if I had to (can you imagine such a situation?). In general, I like to eat fruit and not wear it. But let's get with this pineapple thing and see if it's something you find hot, even though for me, not so much. The good news? It's an accessible trend available at all price points- my money is on the Soludos smoking slipper below- the only maybe on my list when it comes to yes or no to this tropical trend.
H&M sequined Pineapple top, $17.99
Sea Pineapple print dress, on sale for $290
Tata Naka Pineapple print off the shoulder dress, $535
Soludos Pineapple smoking slipper, $65 (these are pretty darn cute I must say).
Tommy Bahama Pineapple print one piece swimsuit, $148
So will you or won't you get fruity this Summer? Maven minds want to know. It's easy to see that many are saying yes to this one- would love to hear your thoughts, cause you already know mine. I do think this can be cute on a certain type of guy- a tan, Surfer like one that's in on the joke and maybe went to boarding school and/or an Ivy. And that's what's up this sweet Summer trend in the tropics of Brooklyn. Yours, in hot or not. XO
