GARDEN PARTY
Continuing the theme of spring flowers, floral prints are everywhere this season....big, small and in between. Prints are a personal thing - you either like them or you don't. For me, they have to be colors that I enjoy and a print that appeals to me. Bear in mind, bold prints are memorable and you can't wear them as often. We also tire of them more quickly. That said, here are a few ideas....
BLUSH NUDES
Blush is the new neutral for spring - especially for weddings. Choose a shade that flatters your skin whether it be a peachy or pinky tone. It's an ultra feminine look, very soft and lovely....
EARN YOUR STRIPES
Throughout time, stripes are a classic favorite...worn traditionally as seen on Princess Kate or worn with a more modern twist. Stripes are everything from casual to boldly dramatic and glamorous. A black and white striped top goes in every suitcase I pack. I'm an addict, I confess....
DO: Most of us should wear a long sweater or top over a striped skirt to elongate the line. DON'T: Tucking a blouse into a striped skirt only accentuates the fullness here.
And don't mix patterns - it's too tricky!
