Hi all, welcome to Fashion Focus. I am the new girl on campus, Majella, otherwise known as “Ireland.” I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts and views on all things fashion with you lovely Bonnies. Add me on Facebook or follow me on Instagram @todayimwearing1, go on and share what you’re wearing.
I apologize in advance, though this is a topic I can’t miss out on: last week’s VMAs. Moving past Miley Cyrus and her extremely embarrassing performance, the night was filled with beautiful celebrities dressed elegantly, but of course there were many questionable outfits. My favorite outfit was Ariana Grande’s red carpet dress by Kenley Collins, whilst Katy Perry’s leopard print number hurt my eyes.
I am a huge print fan and have included my interpretation of the floral and leopard print trend. Prices and details of all garments will be provided below, so you too can be fashion fabulous!
I love wearing floral print during the day. However, it can be simply transformed
into nightwear by losing the denim jacket, replacing the boots with some killer heels and the satchel with a clutch bag.

Another versatile print I love is leopard. Again, this can be worn day or night. I have gone for the classy night wear look with an edge. However, this can be altered for day wear by adding a soft chiffon blouse and denim jacket with a pair of black ankle boots. It is easy to over-do this look, so to avoid a Katy Perry moment, keep it simple and wear only one piece with a leopard print.
