Tribal Revival

I admired the ikat prints that exploded on the runway this summer, but they seemed "too much" for my currently pared-down aesthetic. I realized my feelings were such because I wear less clothing in the summer and the wild, graphic variations of the print overwhelmed my sensible side (an ikat maxi dress is A LOT of print for me). Now that fall has me layering like a fiend, I feel comfortable introducing a small item or two into an otherwise stable environment ;)
Here are a few of my favorite accessories:


Row 1:
-Rachel Bilson in an adorable ikat print skirt
-Tolani Gray/Pink Ikat Scarf (Love that the gray gets a lil' kick from the pink)
-Calvin Klein Ikat-Printed Blouse (could make work or weekend looks)
Row 2:
-Himalaya Trading Company scarves (Good deal and a variety of colors)
-Anthropologie Magic Ikat Tea Set (not an accessory, but SO cute)
-Velvet by Graham & Spencer Ikat Sequins dress (metallics = neutral = super wearable!)

Are you an Ikat fanatic or would you rather see the resurgence fizzle out?

  2. I do enjoy ikat. The tea set is my fave - granted you can't wear it, but it's still very pretty and a good cup of tea is even more wonderful out of a fancy little set like that!

    I'd take either of the Tolani scarves, too. Those are gorgeous!
