This is great to try over the holiday because it's spring (if only the weather would cooperate) and now is the time to try something fresh. Wear a beautiful white dress or even a soft white skirt with a crisp white blouse. You can even mix white with off-white for an interesting tone on tone look. Here are some nice picks to try...
Sweet Lace Dress by Free People $228 |
French Connection Glitter Dress $100 |
Lauren by Ralph Lauren Ruffle Blouse $79.50 |
Tulip Skirt $45 |
To dress up a plain white skirt and blouse and keep it from looking too stark, break it up with a contrasting statement necklace or belt. I love metallics with white and you can literally transform a basic top and bottom into a fabulous outfit by accessorizing with them. Here are some gorgeous belts to try...up the glam factor and show off a narrow waist with an extra wide belt. Try a skinny one for a more classic and reserved look.
Halston Metallic Double Sash Belt $136.50, Metal Pyramid Belt $29.99, Skinny Metallic Belt $11.86 |
Here's my rule with belts: Avoid wearing a chunky bracelet, it will compete with the belt (your hand hovers on the same horizontal line as the belt), but you CAN wear a necklace, just keep the scale balanced: Wear a statement necklace (like one of the gorgeous ones below) with a skinny belt OR a dramatic belt with a delicate necklace. Not both!
Silver Waterfall Necklace $128, Gold Floral Necklace $121.92, Woven Multirow Gold Necklace $98, Mod Metal Necklace by Kenneth Cole $135 |
And don't forget a fabulous pair of metallic, blush or nude shoes....actually, the less matchy matchy the better:
Vince Camuto Metallic Pumps in bronze and graphite $79.99, Steve Madden Rose Gold Bow Flats $89.95, Gap Open Toe Crochet Flats $49.95 |
