Trendspotting: Galaxy Print

 

Beautiful variations of this print have been showing up everywhere lately.  The appeal, at least for me, is that the striated colors remind me of tie-dye, but with way more sophistication.

 

Our roving style reporter, Kristabel, spotted this chic chick shopping in a pair of cosmically cute leggings. She makes the look work by keeping the silhouettes of the top and sandals very simple.

The trend is even making its way to your fingertips!  Check out the DIY here.

Ok, so here are a few ways that I will be wearing the floral skinny jeans I scored for under $12 at Target.  First up, I paired the jeans with a white blazer, black tee, and sparkly statement necklace.  This look would work well for a dinner date, or any other dressy casual event.

Next up, a funkier look. The shoe contrasts beautifully against the black and white pants.  I think the silky tunic plays well with the long necklace and gives the look an easy glamour.

 

Finally, a bit of playful pattern mixing.  The gray and white striped shirt compliments the floral pattern and the yellow shoe adds to the fun, casual feel of the outfit.
