Loving these bright, cheery outfits with trompe l’oeil detailing from Moschino Cheap and Chic Pre-Fall 2012 collection.

Who needs accessories when you can have them — buttons, ties, necklaces, even crossbody bags — painted directly onto your dresses?

I take that back — love the cute shoes and frilly quilted bag!
