When you are in a hurry or just in a stump of what to wear, a dress is your one-stop-shop. Without the nonsense of matching bottoms and tops, a dress makes you completely ready in one swoop. But for an elegant bohemian look, go with a print maxi dress like Lauren Conrad. Play with prints for a busier look, meaning less accessories and less time picking accessories out too. A long printed dress like Lauren’s is chic yet easy to just throw on with a pair of aviator sunglasses.

The one key take away of wearing a printed maxi dress, is to get the dress in a good fabric so that it keeps you cool and can last through more than one wear. If you decide that you want to glam it up, chunky jewelry looks great with busy prints.

Simple with a statement. Lauren Conrad may have quietly launched her L.C. by Lauren Conrad line at Kohl’s, but she herself was dressed to impress and grabbed our attention at the Kohl’s launch party. While her new clothing line has received mixed reviews, Lauren’s style was stunningly fashion forward. She kept her look very clean and basic, yet added some elegance with a sleek ponytail, and some edge with her open-toed ankle booties.

Her shoes are what make her outfit pop, and are the focal point of her whole look. Shoes with that much to say are essential to spice up a basic dress or plain tee with jeans. Lauren’s black sheer t-shirt dress can be swapped with any simple frock and is wearable for many occasions.
