I’ve learned over the years that you are either a print person or you aren’t.

If you look through the photos of me, you’ll notice I don’t wear prints too often. When I do, they’re usually small in size.

Prints, or lack thereof, communicate a lot about someone’s personality. Don’t you think?

Minimalists enjoy simplicity and cleanliness. They like predictability and streamlined processes. They don’t mind blending in and avoid the spotlight. However, print lovers don’t mind a bit of chaos. They are more adventurous in spirit. They enjoy color and use clothing to help communicate their emotions and personality.

I think I’m both to an extent. Ultimately, I lean more towards simplicity because my main motivation in life is peace and tranquility. But, when I want to make a statement or be noticed, I choose prints to help support my desire.

To me, leopard is a print that communicates power, sensuality and fierceness. I’m not the best at using my words to do that for me and leopard prints help me convey these things.

What about you? Do you enjoy prints? If so, what prints do you enjoy, and what message or story do you feel they help you tell?
