This website is the ultimate dress-up game, wow! I love fashion, old movies, and reading, all of which lends to deriving a lot of satisfaction out of combing through pages of handbags and shoes so ecstatically, I skimp on such necessities as food and sleep.
In that case, fend off the last of the season with a slightly kooky, menswear-inspired look: ankle-length jeans are trim and conveniently appropriate for warmer weather, but they give a classic white-blouse-and-vest combo a twist. The detail on the vest will really stand out against the white of the blouse. Look for details: patent leather, print socks, cool and feminine jewelry, an interesting bag, a chunky scarf. Finally, top it off with an over-sized jacket for the last word in cool.
Anybody else chomping at the bit for summer, sunshine, and weekends of wanderlust?
A cute, summer-weight frock in the shape of this thigh-grazing, cotton, color-splattered item is an ideal starting point. Keep things simple - a light cotton blazer for cooler evenings or over-air conditioned interiors, a practical purse, and flat (but to-die-for-adorable) shoes mean you'll be able to wander at will anywhere and everywhere. Top off with a small collection of sweet necklaces - beads and wood accents are perfect. Finally: don't forget the sunscreen!
I live in the tropics, so it's summer all year round in my part of the world and I'm pretty much over it ;p BUT I love seeing summer looks here because it means I can wear them in real life - and this is perfection!
Sweet but adult, this dress is the foundation to this look - just check out the back with its deep V! It's thigh-grazing length means flats, not heels, make for a leggy-but-appropriate appearance (especially when said flats are embellished).
A polka-dot trench coat of nearly the same length as the dress and a soft, peachy-rose hued clutch add interest and variety. Finally, a shot of color in a moisturizing lip stain and a variety of rings add those small, unique flourishes so necessary to making an outfit personal.
