Forget Minimalism: Milan Favors Maximalism
Long live colorful prints and separates.
In with the bold, out with the bland. Milan knows how to punch it up and have fun with fashion, something we should all learn to emulate. Why save those leopard print pants or fur coat for a special occasion that will never happen? Life is the occasion, and it's happening now.
Take notes on how to add pizzaz to your wardrobe from the fine fashion set who attended Milan Fashion Week.

I hope you're ready for a country comeback because cowboy boots and sweet, Ann-of-Green-Gables-esque dresses are creeping their way into the mainstream.
