In our first instillation of FLARE's FASHION CHALLENGE, we enlisted Serina Lee, a busy Vancouver style blogger (Chic-du-Chic) and Artizia marketing intern to capture herself in an abundance of prints everyday for one week. "I love how they can make an outfit exciting and spontaneous," says Lee. "It's playful and a great way to add interest to a generic, neutral-toned wardrobe." Here, this effervescent girl-about-town dutifully offers the key to each look and inspires us to break out of our solid-separates rut. "My style tip would be to choose the right print - one that is not too overwhelming. Try and challenge yourself by mixing prints with different textures - you'll realize that experimentation with your wardrobe can go a long way," Lee says.

"This was inspired by Tokyo's fashionable Shibuya girls - mixing up florals epitomizes the definition of kawaii (cute)!"
