This graphic psychedelic print dress from Zara is actually not my style at all. But I could already picture it in my head with a nice thick knitted cardigan and long brown leather boots and I went for it. But it is actually a summer dress despite the long sleeves. It’s a very thin dress. You saw a lot of these kinds of prints last season. A bit 70’s style. I love it, that was quite an elegant style. Better than anything ripped, to short, to long you see these days. Haha, I really do sound like an old woman. I just prefer the more classic, more elegant style.
What is a psychedelic print exactly?
Well, Wikipedia can tell you better than I can. Very interesting to read I might say. I learnt a few things reading it and that is always good isn’t it! We need to stimulate our brains! With reading and those kind a things, not with things where you see everything in a psychedelic daylight! Actually, this dress does not have a real psychedelic print. I mean, you don’t get dizzy by looking at it. But I like to call it psychedelic one.
Styling my not so psychedelic print dress.
I also didn’t have a long cardigan to wear with it, yes yes I feel a shopping moment coming. But I hadn’t worn this pre-loved jacket yet and I think the color goes very well with the dress. Finally wearing my Italian leather boots again, love it! I really didn’t think this dress would wear great at all. I thought it would be very uncomfortable as it is very snug. And that it would be very noticable. But it wears very nice!
Would you call this print a psychedelic one and do you ever wear such a print yourself?

A gorgeous bold print Nancy And I love it with the green jacket. Colour of the season! Have a lovely weekend xx

I love the print of that dress – has that retro vibe that I love – reminds me of the prints of the 60’s, certainly psychedelic. Looks great on you Nancy!

This is such a beautiful combo! The print of your dress is gorgeous and I love your jacket! Thank you for the linkup!

First thing that popped into my head when I saw this is that you are hot like Elizabeth Hurley in Austin Powers! You look great and although I would shy away from this type of print, I kind of also wish I was brave enough to give it a go. It looks great!

What an awesome dress! And together with the boots and jacket, it’s a great example of taking a Summer dress into Fall.
Nancy,
I love all these colors here and the the olive jacket looks wonderful paired with those colors. I know you have a couple of military style jackets and I have been drawn to those as well. I have 2 I think. Looks beautiful on you!

Dizziness aside, I’m absolutely loving that psychedelic print – or not – dress, especially combined with that military style jacket! I do love a more elegant style too, by the way, and I especially abhor anything ripped. Ugh! xxx P.S. Sadly, we can ‘t get RTL4 🙁
That’s such a groovy print, Nancy, and I love the military-inspired jacket you styled with it!

Nancy, I would absolutely call that print psychedelic! ANd it looks amazing on you. Especially with that super cute olive jacket. And of course, you have the PERFECT leather boots. I love this whole look on you! Your looks are chic and classic but definitely not boring.

I love that dress on you. I would call it psychedelic or maybe Pucci inspired. And, that jacket is a perfect cover for it. You look lovely!

That dress is gorgeous on you! I love the military jacket you paired with it!
This is an interesting print Nancy! Thank you for hosting the party this week again!
I love how you styled it with the jacket and boots. Maybe with tights when it gets cooler? It is a fun print and yes, I would wear it! I am still on the lookout for a fall dress or two but most of what I see here in the US is shapeless. Not for me!

Such a beautiful dress, Nancy. Love it.
Thanks for hosting.
I just love this print Nancy. It really doesn’t matter what you call it it just looks so fun.
I don’t know what’s going on with my email but I’ve been getting your emails a day later and then I didn’t even get this one so far. I just remembered last night when I went to bed about hey I didn’t get to see Nancy’s blog yesterday!!
So here I am a day late!!

Thanks so much for the link-party!
Hey Nancy! I am so far behind on all things lately but I am here at last on Monday for a Friday post! I love this dress and the way you have styled it. I would call it a psychedelic print, for sure. I love vintage and retro prints like this much! You look fabulous as always, my friend!
