Gemstone Mini

All Gals Love Gems!  It's the Sparkle, the Colors, the Shimmering Facets; Gems are just so Fancy!

So I Decided that Strutting in this Skirt's Gemstone Pattern was a Must!

I've been a Solids Gal Practically my Whole Life but Over the Past 3 Years I've been Embracing Pretty Prints and I must Say my Looks have New Life and are Much more Interesting.  The Trick I've Found, is to Find the Prints You Love ( For me it's Houndstooth, Gingham, Geometrics, and Small Florals)

This Geometric Mini wasn't "Love on the Mannequin" but in Efforts to Stretch Myself I had the Sales Associate Place it in my Wardrobing Room.

I've been Obsessed Over Silk Strappy  Camisoles ... Especially in Bright Colors with Adjustable Straps (No 2 Gals Fit the Same so Adjustments Make for an Assured Fit)

Minis can be Tough. They Require Confidence.  I'm a 'to the Knee' when it Comes to Hem Lines.  But in All Honesty, for Petite Gals a Few Inches Above the Knee is Elongating.  
Tip:  Where Nude Shoes & a Coat of Tanning Lotion - Both Give the Illusion of Long Lean Legs 

Because there are so Many Colors in this Skirt I Kept my Top Solid & Bright.  Whatever Color you Choose will Influence the Palette of the Skirt.  

Instinctively I Paired a Cobalt Blue Cami Matching the Hints of Blue in the Skirt.  But I was in a Pink Mood and instead of "Matching"  I went with a Shade.  There is a lot of Blush Pink, so I Opted for a Darker Pink. Now the Skirt Presents more of a Pink Appearance.  

White, Brown, Navy and Chambray are also Great Pairing Shades.  Opt for a Button Down for a more Conservative Look or a Basic Tee and Flats for a Casual Look.

This Look was Perfect for a Night Out with my Gal Pals!
