Flashy Fringe

When I think of fringe;  playful and party come to mind. Not to mention it embraces this summer's Great Gatsby's 1920's glitz theme. Amplifying the texture even more is the layering of lace. Today's version is somewhat dressed down, but could totally steal the spotlight by adding a sequin tank and a glass of champagne! (always add champagne) Though I have embraced the ensemble as black and white, color could easily be added with a bold clutch or bag,  an edgy pump or simply a coral lip!

Practical Reinvented

The corporate scene doesn't have to mean drab pant suits and lackluster attire. Today at work I channel the sunshine and boast bright yellow trousers contrasted with a charming, but fashion-forward exaggerated peplum top in black. The peplum is dramatic and trendy (notice the exposed back zipper) yet suitable for a business environment.

Watercolor

Watercolor is ultra girly and can be dressed up or down easily. The warm tones create a sense of understated opulence. The gathered ruffle on the side adds adds an element of glam. I love that the dress is work-worthy but can take you straight to happy hour!

Playful Pattern

I'm convinced that a pattern can amp up any attire! Not only do I adore the color combo of the frock, I think  it can dazzle from work to play! The print is just edgy enough, but add the heels and a refined necklaces for glam.
