Bold floral pieces have the uplifting power. But how to make these Granny’s favorite modern and chic? Jessica Alba & Kyleigh Kuhn showed us in two different ways:

Jessica Alba went for a more-is-more approach by pairing her floral pull over with a statement necklace and colored handbag. It works because all these bold pieces are close to each other, thus they won’t compete for attention.

Kyleigh Kuhn turned in another direction by offsetting her floral top with slouchy boyfriend jeans and edgy peep toe booties. Her ‘less is more’ aesthetic is reflected through her clean updo, fresh makeup and minimal jewelry.

In Chinese: 花朵图案总能提升我们的情绪，尤其在阴郁的秋冬。但是穿不好，会显得老气。怎样搭配出年轻和潮味呢？看看Jessica Alba 和 Kyleigh Kuhn的这两身造型吧！

Jessica Alba的look体现了今年流行的“多且繁”的搭配潮流，把原本已经够花的上衣配上了大的项链和彩色的手包。成立的关键在于这几样抢眼的单品都集中在一起，避免了“不知道该看哪儿”的视觉上的纷乱感。Kyleigh Kuhn则是一副典型的超模私下的街拍造型：一件抢眼的时尚单品配上衣柜中旧的牛仔裤，清新的妆发和极简的配饰体现了她‘少即多’的时尚态度。

Styling tassel or fringe pieces can be quite challenging. Olivia Palermo showed us how in two different ways: give them more punch with exotic accessories and geo patterns for a world traveler’s refined gipsy look or polish them up with sleek shapes and clean lines. The result? Effortlessly chic ensembles you can wear for the office, a date-night or strolling around town.

In Chinese: 搭配流苏装饰的单品挺有挑战性的，希望Olivia Palermo的这两个造型能让你在日常生活中大胆尝试一下：上图左边的look里她搭配了颇有异域风情的配饰和不同的几何图案，使整身造型很有故事感，仿佛带上了她旅行中每一站的记忆；右边的look里她则用利落的廓形和简洁的线条给流苏赋予了精良的都市感。

Three Tips On Mixing Prints

How to mix patterns? Olivia Palermo modeled three key strategies: First, keep the patterns in the same scale, like the yellow chain print blouse and black/white wave print skort she worn showed above left; Secondly, tie your patterns together with one or two common colors, as showed above right, Olivia Palermo pulled out the perfect-for-fall burgundy in both patterns, making them blend together harmoniously; Thirdly, tone down the loudness with neutrals, as seen in her first look above, it’s the understated vest, purse and pumps ground the boldness.

In Chinese: 混搭图案有技巧。怎么做到‘乱中有序’呢？和Olivia Palermo学学这三招吧：第一，混搭的两种图案大小相对一致才会有整体感，比如左边的造型中黄色的链条衬衫和黑白的波纹裙；第二，这两种图案最好有一或两个共同色，比如右边的look里，Olivia Palermo用酒红把两件同样抢眼的单品混搭得浑然一体；第三，用一些低调、安静的中性色平衡热闹的图案，比如她的第一个造型里棕灰色的长马甲和相近色的手包、鞋子降低了明度和彩度，使整身look更协调，也更有季节感。
