FROM THE ARCHIVES: Fabulous Fashion Friday~Fall Brights & Print Inspirations

Fall fashion is filled with bright, saturated colors and myriad wild and whimsical prints to delight you!  Today we're featuring three looks that mix bright colors with unique prints and boots (of course, it's Fall, Boot Season is arrived!!)

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Color Story: Yellow paired with Indigo and Taupe.

Featured Print: Crackled Paint
We built this look around a bright mango yellow hi-lo hem sweater (C&C $36), draped over wide-leg "crackled paint" print taupe trousers (Timing, $34) and finished with an Indigo-blue cotton scarf (Look By-M, $18.50) and taupe wedge boots (Me Too, $146)
Although there is no yellow in the printed pant, our eye "sees" dots of yellow!
The muted blue scarf perfectly complements the yellow. 
Notice the pant appears to have flecks of blue!
For dazzle, we chose these navy-blue Lapis Lazuli stone drop earrings ($49) by local jewelry artist  Frankie Says. Gold jewelry works perfectly with yellows and blues.
Instant sunshine!

Color Story: Peri-Blue and Black.
Featured Print: Rivulets of Rain
This color story is all about emotion.  We love our moody-black in Seattle and to brighten it up we chose this hand-dyed hi-low hem skirt (UrbanX, $42) with Periwinkle Blue "bamboo" print, a Peri-Blue Tee (Survival U.K., $26), an AB matte-black bomber hoodie ($32) and black Troopa Boots by Steve Madden ($98). Entire look: $198!
This unique tie-dye print reminds us of rivulets of rain. 
Bright, fine-silver hammered jewelry (ShayD Design) really
sparkles against the cool-blue top.
We love that the long skirt hits just above the ankle to reveal the boots!
PS: The popular Steve Madden Troopa Boot is now 20% Off at Kick It!
Add just a touch of attitude and your gorgeous look is complete :-)

Color story: Navy and Ivory with Notes of Caramel.
Featured Print: Tribal Tapestry
Aztec-inspired prints are one of the most exciting trends this season.  Here, we're showing our new surplice wrap dress (Gilli, $36) with creamy white accessories and caramel leather boots (Luxury Rebel, $196). 
We adore Fall's  "just-above-the-knee" hemlines.
Add a cardi (TresFemme, $28)  and this colorful party look is perfect for the office, too!
Catching up on the latest fashions! (She should be in that magazine!:)
We picked up the touch of Fuchsia in the dress with this elegant Chalcedony gemstone & sterling silver design by local artist, Mrs. Robinson's Affair ($92 for the set).
She exudes confidence and looks so put together in this trend-setting outfit.
(She looks so cool we want to hang out with her!)

A whole new Fall wardrobe awaits you at Kick It (or at least come find a few new colorful key pieces to lift up your looks!)  Be sure and get at least one pair of printed pants into the mix and a trendy tribal-print piece, too! 

Happy Friday Kick It!
