How to Accessorize Print Clothing?

What accessories can I throw on when wearing print clothing? I don't want to look too flashy.

Contrary to popular wisdom, you can indulge in plenty of boldness when choosing accessories. The key isn't so much size as it is color. Keep it solid and all will be well.
Pick your favorite color from your printed ensemble and bring that out with a colorful bangle like this vibrant turquoise wrislet by Skinny. (Check out mystyle's Exclusive Discounts gallery to enjoy 20 percent off all Skinny jewelry.)
You can also go with a drop pendant or stone earrings. (Yes, you can mix in a neutral color with your accessory; see this amazing Vita bamboo bangle as an example.) Highlight the color further, if you like, with a matching-color shoe, or keep the shoe neutral.
Rings are also an excellent option for a printed garment because they're usually a solid stone or band that won't compete with the rest of your look. A giant cocktail ring from Forever 21 is always one of my favorite accessories, and you don't have to spend a fortune to find a fun one that will serve you well. If you have a bit more cash but are still on a budget, I've never had any trouble finding a decent costume cocktail ring at Banana Republic.
Not so hard, is it?

1. I agree! When you wear a flashy or busy print the best accessories are always solid and shiny pieces.
