Weekly Fashion Finds: Prints and Patterns

Currently trending in Santee Alley: Prints! This is such a great and lively trend for summer. We especially like the printed kimonos (last seen here). They're super cute and versatile, whether you wear it over a cute top and jeans to spice up a date-night outfit or wear it as a cover-up to the beach. Also, in case you can't tell from looking at these photos, the jumpsuit and rompers are also still going strong. Not that we're complaining. We want one of each!
