Another Gem that came to mind. I call this trend TROPICAL PREP. I was inspired by the weather going into the new school year. The feeling of just getting back into the swing of school, but at the same time not quite shaking the effect  and  lingering “laziness” of summer. It’s mostly tropical themed prints in book bags, and school supplies. Incorporating denim is fun too. The dresses can stand to be a bit shorter, and the accessories don’t have to be so painterly. The shoes don’t necessarily have to be saddle shoes, but I just thought for the purpose of conceptualization, it was appropriate. It’s a fun trend to experiment with, also there are items that embody this look in many popular juniors wear clothing stores. The images above where inspired by thrift stores, but can easily be transformed to suit a more modern approach. This trend is meant to be casual.
