She's Got the Look - Summer to Fall Fashion

A great, casual and classic summer look moves in to Fall. In other words, a way to dress when the weather is not quite cold, not quite hot, it's a little in between......

It's Summer

Start with a great black dress; the dress pictured may be worn for casual occasions, and work, a double duty sort of thing.
Add sandals for a casual look, pumps or flats for work, and you are ready to go all summer.

Go in to Fall fashionably

Well look, it's September now, and it's still hot outside, but you want to look like a truly fashionable woman, and finding something to wear can be so trying at this time of year.

The solution? Re-invent (Madonna it.:)) a summer dress by adding a fab blazer or cardigan, some great pumps, stockings or tights, and a silk scarf for color.
Don't forget to use common sense......choose a dress that is not really "summery" looking, like the black dress depicted.


Glam Hint: Remove the belt when wearing the blazer, and wrap and tuck the scarf in to the neckline. Pssst.....don't forget the stockings!

One more thing. Please ladies, don't take things too literally. I sometimes find more expensive items, okay, very expensive items, because it is easier. You can always duplicate the look to a surprising degree, for far less money. It just requires a little shopping around, and some ingenuity!

She's Got the Look: The Day Frock

To wear anywhere daytime, or for  a casual evening. Yummy fresh colors, an elegant, timeless, classic.


The accessories were chosen with an intent to keep them clean and simple; the dress itself has enough going on, and it would be so easy to turn this look from elegant to a clashy, busy unbecoming costume.

So where's the necklace? For most women, this type of neckline looks far better without a necklace, because the combination of the neckline and a necklace will make even a longish neck look short and stocky. Don't you dare!

Keep it simple---simple, elegant, matte gold earrings were chosen to warm up the cool colors, without overwhelming the dress.

For further info, please see the resource page.

ps.....If you don't care for the "matchy-matchy" shoes and bag, switch the bag to a simple, structured, small straw bag. Have fun.

pss....the price of the dress is so right!

She's Got the Look: Classically Elegant or Totally Boring?

 

When putting together the clothing and accessories for this feature (She's Got the Look), I have to restrain myself from posting only my own preferences. I tend to be a purist, and go for looks that are very classic, and elegant, although some might call them "boring".

As an example, last week I posted a look that would be suitable for clubbing or dinner out, but the reality is that while I enjoy the look, and might wear the dress, I tend to turn to my fav stand-by's.......the ubiquitous little black or white dress.

The looks featured in this post are for when you really would like  something just a little bit dressier. Are they boring? You tell me........maybe I should climb out of my rut, but honestly, I'm perfectly comfortable here!
