I have been loving the romantic look but find it is getting a little over-done. So how to make it fresh and new?
Here are some ideas to do the romantic vintage look and not look like you stepped out of your Grandma's attic:
--incorporate some boho elements to give it a less "stuffy" and more "free spirited" look. Try gypsy bangles and hoop earrings or a great fringy scarf
--Give it some European appeal with classic French and Continental touches such as crisp stripes, or maybe a slouchy beret.
--Pop the familiar dusty pastel color palette with a bright such as fuchsia or lime.
--Give the sweetness a dose of moodiness with blacks and grays used in the palette.
--Don't overdo the flowers and ruffles, go with one romantic element and leave the rest of the look clean.
--add subtle shine or sparkle to update the look and keep it from being too precious.
Here are some great inspirations from the creative talents behind my favorite new website, polyvore.com:
