This week we have a guest post from the adorable Crystal of the fashion blog watermoolen. Check out what she has to say about abstract prints for the summer!

Summer’s a great opportunity to get yourself cultured into fine arts. Abstract prints are the craze this summer, as seen in Spring/Summer 2011 collections of Sonia Rykiel, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Alice+Olivia. They work great on almost every body type, flattering gals with curves and the skinny minnies. In fact, these bold structured prints can even make an introvert appear daring and adventurous.

Here are a few recommendations that can help you nail the look – with fraction of the cost, with the help of 365hangers.com! These three dresses help capture the essence of abstract art without being too overwhelming. For a night time out with the girls, the Trina Turk dress is the optimal choice where you can be sexy, fun, and classy without showing too much skin. For a daytime look, you’d want something like the Ali Ro dress – it’s a halter, light coloured dress that exudes warmth and relaxation! Lastly, the Jessica Simpson dress is perfect for workwear – it’s the right combination of colours and patterns that isn’t too bold or flashy for the office.
