CHIC FOR SPRING....KITTEN HEELS
Low heels are hot and happening for spring/summer. Both the thin Kitten Heel and the Chunky heel are on trend. Look for detailing in the ankle straps, buckles, and embellishment. Bright colors, pastels, and prints work well for any look this season! When purchasing new shoes, think of what colors or styles will complement what you own and wear. If dresses are your thing, strappy versions look great. If you wear long pants or capri pants, then embellished versions are a better option. Linen is a great fabric for spring kitten heels. The texture adds interest in the heels.

FRESH & FABULOUS LOOKS FOR OVER 50
Ladies, looking trendy and stylish is possible at any age. The key is knowing what silhouette's work well for your boy. Highlight one area that you are proud to show, either your chest, arms, or legs but not more than one. Layer your look in light pieces so you are not adding bulk. Light knit cardigans and blazers look great. Break out of the black pants and sweater look by adding fun spring colors and jewelry. Chunky necklaces enhance a look (but can hide unflattering skin lines). Belts are a great accent piece, whether or not you have a tummy. Position a large or skinny belts at the bottom of your rib cage or lower on the hips. Bright colors and prints add panache to your look.
Sheath dresses in bright colors are a great option for spring. 3/4 length sleeves hide your arms but are the right length for the season. Short sleeve sheath dresses are great for summer. Add fun heels or flats and a large statement necklace (long or a short chunky one) to complete your look.

Pim + Larkin Tweed Shift Dress, $79
Pair this bright pink sheath dress with sapphire blue necklace, or blue cardigan/blazer. Kitten heels finish your look.

Fit and Flare dresses are a silhouette that works for most women and are very on trend. The bodice is more fitted with a sleeve line that works well for ladies. The waist line comes in above a woman's natural waist and then flares out, not emphasizing your tummy area and hips or creating a waist and hips for those who have more of a straight build. Look at the length carefully as the hemline of the dress is shorter for the younger crowd.

Donna Ricco Dress, $118
Pair this dress with a long turquoise necklace and tan colored studded flats. Or add a turquoise skinny belt and chunky gold necklace. Pair with a large printed satchel and skin colored heels (look for laser cut details, studs, or embellishment to add flare).

Making Your Legs Look Fabulous with Fun Tights
I"m often asked how can this dress or skirt be updated or this outfit more fun? My response is always throw on a pair of fun tights. There are many styles and brands to choose from. The important thing to know is that tights do not usually snag like panty hose do, therefore you can purchase a more expensive and stylish pair that will last you. The more intricate the design and detail, the more expensive the tights will be. A year ago while in Italy I noticed that all the ladies were wearing beautiful tights to accentuate their outfits and my love affair began.
Wolford is by far my favorite brand. They become world-wide famous with their bondage tights last year that many famous singers and celebrities wore. Here is a beautiful pair of Wolford Wilderness Tights for $43.55 on sale on wolford.com and available in three tones.

Fishnets are a beautiful option to enhance an outfit. Details to note with fishnets is the size of the netting, which can range from very small to large. Smaller netting looks classier and more refined while larger netting vamps it up. Here is a DKNY version with larger netting for $14.50 from barenecessities.com

Oroblu, available at Nordstrom's has smaller netting for their fishnets. I have their skin colored pair and love them. They match my skin tone perfectly. The smaller netting looks classier for business meetings. $18.

Colored tights add unique surprise to your outfit. Great when you are wearing black or gray. Gray, maroon and burgundy are very popular tights colors. These tights are by Falke for $64.00 available at barenecessities.com.
Diamond tights are another interesting element. Particularly this pair from Anthropology. Spotted diamond tights for $18.00 available at anthropology.com
Nothing is sexier than a pattern or stripe up the back of your leg. The trick to this is the size of the line going up your leg and ensuring that it is straights when you put it on. This pair is by Kate Spade, called New York Scallop Detail Tight, $28 at Nordstroms.
All department stores carry tights, as does Target. Specialty tights stores have become popular and there you can slight from a wide range of designers and price points. Hue, DKNY, Spanx, Calvin Klein, Falke, Kate Spade, Oroblu. Search online by tights and then narrow your search to meet your needs (i.e. control top-Spanx is great for this).
To change from your day to night look, for daytime throw on with your skirt, dress, or suit and high heels. At night change your shoes to shoe booties or high boots and change your sweater, suit jacket or coat by taking that off and leaving on your tank top and add a statement necklace or earrings.

Statement Necklaces
Statement necklaces are one way to spice up an outfit, to make a top or a dress pop. Statement necklaces can also help enliven an outfit that you don't wear often. I recommend having a few necklaces that you can intermix with various outfits to keep things fresh.
This is a beautiful stone and gold necklace, available by BCBG, $98.
