Fashion 156 is having their Print Issue, which is great for me because I love prints!
I was clicking through their Must Have section, I came across this dress – and fell in love!

What an unlikely print! While Zebra print is not new at all (I myself own a pair of pony hair, zebra-print pumps) – but prints of zebras?! That’s certainly not something you see every day.
I think the juxtaposition of the ladylike shape of the dress against the child-like print is pretty genius. It is not in-your-face youthful like a romper, but subtle and hints at a playful personality just beneath the surface.
This is an ode to our younger selves, where we’d all wanted a pony. Only better – we get zebras

Saw that dress in Susie Bubble’s blog. I didn’t know that animal exist! Half horse, half zebra. The world is quite bizarre.
