STYLING
STYLE LESSONS FROM FRIDA KAHLO

First things first: it’s all about color, color and more color. So make the heart of your ensemble a midi dress with lots of Frida-friendly elements including a bold, clashing print (tropical florals meets '80s-style animal print), and flouncy hem detailing.

For your accessories game, there’s still no shying away. Warm, bright colors reign supreme, and in true Frida form, there's the floral headband (the bigger the blooms, the better). Orange pointed bow mules amp up the warm weather/vacay vibes, and then to finish? Layers of yellow-gold jewelry to add some glitzy texture. Magic.
