printed blouses

Solange Knowles solidified her title as mixed-print master pairing a purple and yellow geometric pencil skirt with a matching blouse, both by H&M, while spinning for its latest store opening in Mexico City. This isn't the first time we've spotted the starlet working a print-on-print ensemble; from New York Fashion Week to the American Ballet Theatre, this girl is clearly a fan of bold numbers, and we can't get enough of her brilliantly styled looks. Solange completed her latest printed pairing with colorblock Fendi sandals, full luscious locks, and a punchy red lip. Channel this mixed masterpiece with a printed pencil skirt, a coordinating blouse, and colorblock sandals for a stunning look that's so hot everyone at the party will be coming to you for fashion advice.

Ashley Madekwe was ready to rock in a pair of luxe blue suede shorts while heading into the Staples Center to see Madonna perform. The actress styled her textured bottoms with a black-and-white zigzag blouse and black suede ankle boots for a cool-girl style that transitions perfectly to Fall. Even though temperatures are dropping you can still show a little leg, just swap your lightweight shorts for heavier fabrics, like suede or leather, to pair with tights and a chunky knit sweater for a cozy-chic look. Re-create Ashley's concert style with a pair of blue suede shorts, printed black and white top, and black pointed ankle boots or really make a statement in these bright orange Alice & Olivia suede shorts ($515).

Kate Bosworth attended the Theyskens' Theory Spring 2013 collection at New York Fashion Week wearing a denim biker jacket with an abstract-printed blouse, which she tucked into a pair of sporty off-white shorts. She kept her accessories to a minimum: a gray satchel, which she wore on her shoulder, and black pointy pumps. Whether or not you're attending Fashion Week, mimic Kate's front-row ensemble by investing in this similar Silence & Noise denim biker jacket ($79) and sporting it with your printed blouses and short shorts.
