Rich & Bright

One of the best parts of Spring is the introduction of white into my wardrobe.  White is my most favorite color to wear.  It's clean, crisp and bright. 

This olive dress I purchased last fall and since it's silk you can style it for all seasons with a simple change in pairings.  I added this sleek white blazer and hot pink pumps for fun.    

Don't pack up those garments in rich darker shades, mix them up with lighter colors to bring them into the light of Spring & Summer. 

I have a lot of fun playing with various color combinations.  It keeps things fresh and utilizes the pieces you already have.

Drapey

Relax, it's TGIF!

Strut the Streets in a Pair of Lounge Pants that Make you Feel Like You're Still in Your PJ's.

The Drapey Pant Trend has Hit the Stores and I Must Say my Gut Reaction was: Throwback to 'Hammer Time'!  Sometimes what was "Cool" Back-in-the-Day, should Remain Vaulted in Our Memories and Brought Back Just for #TBT Laughs.

However, the Comfort and Toned Down Volume of the Re-Design has me Reexamining this Style.  

Elastic Waist: Allows for Fit but Oh So Casual - Contrast with a Dressy Blouse (A Simple Front-Tuck Highlights Shape Preventing Volume Overload)
Cuff:  Avoid Elastic on the Ankle - Too Exaggerated and gives off a 'Genie in a Bottle' Costume Look. 
Color:  Opt for a Darker Neutral Color - More Sophisticated
Shoes:  For Office - Pumps or Heeled Booties, Weekend - Slip on Sneakers, Night - Strappy Heels

I've Embraced the Trend and Added Another Olive Piece to my Fall Wardrobe.

Have a Fabulous Friday in these Fluid Drawstring Pants!

Olive

Olive.  It's the "It" Shade for Fall ... and There's Nothing Drab About it!

As a Redhead, I Gravitate to Shades of Green; They Compliment Best.  I Particularly Like Olive for it's Softer and Slightly Dull Hue.  But Don't Hesitate to Compliment with Vibrant Colors like Hot Pink.

This Dress has a Very Luxurious Feel in Silk and Feminine Shape with the Defined Waist, Subtle Pleating & Keyhole Neckline.  It Also Incorporates Some Casual Elements with the Dolman Cap Sleeve and Pockets.

The Waist has Hidden Elastic in the Back Creating a Perfect Fit and Shape.

I Kept my Pairings Simple with Carmel Booties and a Long Necklace with Neutral Brown/Green Gemstones and a Patent Cream Handbag for some Shine.  

For Weekend Wear Add Riding Boots and a Leather Jacket and for Date Night I Plan to Change out the Booties for Hot Pink Pumps!
