Latest Lusts: Fun Patterns

October 11, 2011,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Whimsical patterns have been cropping up everywhere lately and I’m dying to get some in my wardrobe!

This dress from Modcloth is gorgeous! But of course, I like everything from Modcloth. What I like about this is that the pattern is fun but not overpowering.

I’m oddly drawn to this dress from Forever21. Even though it’s an unconventional pattern I think it works. I like the lace detailing in the front as well.

I like this floral from ASOS because it’s a little bit vintage. It’s not like a lot of the bright big florals that have been around lately.

Polka dots are potentially my favorite pattern and I love the way they’re used in this dress! Pink and grey are such a great color combination too. I just love this dress! Another Modcloth, naturally.
