Silk & Shoulders



I've decided that this year is the Summer of shoulders! While shorts and tanks will always be a go-to in dressings for hot sunny days, showcasing your arms and legs have taken a back seat to shoulders.

Off the shoulder and even one shoulder tops, dresses and rompers are center stage and I couldn't love it more! The shoulders are universally an attractive feature on us ladies.  You're not as exposed as strapless designs while still showing off the neck, décolletage and it also draws the eye upward to the face and smile and that's where you want the attention :)

Crisp white cotton is on the top of the list of classics.  This dress combines both the coolness of cotton and the trending shoulder baring design. You can also pull the neckline up to cover the shoulders for a more modest look.  I wore it this way to work a couple of weeks ago.

Silk scarves are something I've been collecting for over 10 years now.  I prefer vintage and have hunted some beautiful treasures over the years.  Silk scarves were huge in the 60's through the 90's worn on your handbag or around the neck and/or shoulders.  Personally, I'm happy to see these printed squares making a come back!

Adding the scarf around your neck breaks up the exposed shoulders and adds fun color and print. Try replacing your typical baubles with an unexpected silk scarf.

FYI: These lace up shoes are amazing! Super comfortable with a block heel and soft suede.  They come in several colors.  A few of my gal pals have gone and purchased and love them as much as I do!
