Summertime Citrus
Product Info: Romper- ModCloth, Bracelets- Topshop, Nail Polish- NCLA, Bag- Mango, Sunglasses- ModCloth, Shoes- Vans
Between the fun silhouette, cheery colors, and punchy print, this citrus-y romper is pretty much the epitome of summer. Play up the grapefruit pattern with a pair of casual, coral-hued Vans and citron yellow nails. Balance out the bright colors with a classic tan handbag, then accessorize with several mixed metal bracelets. Slip on a pair of cat-eye shades and you’ll be good to go.
If You Like Piña Coladas
Product Info: Top- H&M, Shorts- New Look, Hair Photo- Urban Outfitters, Lipgloss- NARS, Earrings- Steve Madden, Shoes- H&M, Bag- Dorothy Perkins
For a fun yet dressy night out look, try pairing these pineapple print shorts with a strappy satin tank. Platform sandals glam things up, as do these gold fringed earrings. Next, grab a teal envelope clutch for a bold pop of color. Show off the earrings by putting your hair into a chic side braid, then finish with a swipe of peachy lipgloss.

I love the quirkiness of fruit prints. They’re just so darn cute!
Fruit prints are sweet and eye catching, but I don’t think I’ll ever be brave enough to wear them myself.
CF, do you read my mind? I’ve had Escape (If you like piña coladas) stuck in my head for a week now. Anyway, keep up the good work! 🙂 xxx
Hannah (HBO Girls) is so proud! Or not.
Great roundup! I’m absolutely in love with this trend.
