Comic Book Print


I don’t know about you, but my current fashion obsession is the comic book trend. There are t-shirts, dresses, skirts, leggings, accessories, and pretty much any other item out there with a comic book print on it.

I think it takes geek to a whole new level, allowing comic book fans to wear their passion on their own bodies for everyone else to see. And even if you’re not a fan of comic books, the patterns are so cute, how could you resist?

Check out this dress from Topshop,



this ring and sweater from Forever 21,



and these shoes from Black Milk


Now, you’ll want to style this trend just right so you get the perfect look for you. If you want to look more geeky, go with high-waisted pants and sneakers. You can also add in some cute thick-rimmed glasses and suspenders for an extra touch.

 


Top: Forever 21
Jeans: H&M
Glasses: Armani Exchange
Shoes: Converse


For a more sexy look, pair the dress with knee-high boots, and the t-shirt or sweater with leather shorts or leggings and pointy flats. Add a square clutch and a short necklace to make it look even more chic.

Upper Finger Rings


This is one of my favourite trends right now. Adding a ring above your knuckle allows you to add even more jewels to your fingers, and to get creative. They’re also great if, like me, you’ve got shorter fingers, since these rings make your fingers look longer and slimmer.

What’s also great about the upper-finger rings, is that, because they’re made smaller in order to sit just above your knuckle, they can also double as a toe ring.

Etsy has some beautiful designs for these above-knuckle rings right now. Check some out below:




Now obviously I’m going to mention H&M (not only because I work there, but because I actually love all their merchandise, and own almost all of it myself). They have packages of rings of all different sizes, so that you can wear some below your knuckle (like a regular ring) as well as above your knuckle. And, of course, they’re a great price.



You can join the upper-finger ring trend by wearing simple, plain styles (like H&M above), or by wearing rings with a fancier design on them (like Etsy above). Tell me how you’re wearing this trend, and feel free to include pictures!
