WEARING LACE IN NEW WAYS

The key to wearing lace to make it look current and on-trend versus wearing your grandma's table cloth, is imbedding it into your look.  Add a lace camisole or lace trimmed pants or skirt.  Accentuate your look with lace details versus wearing it all over.  Wear it in a bolder color versus black to stand out.  Navy and scarlet red/wine color are hot this season!


Lace Accents such as on the bottom of this black leather dress by Jason Wu, add a bit of feminine detail to your look.  $3, 350.

TANGERINE CORAL DRESS OPTIONS FOR ALL FIGURES




This Nicole Miller striped dress in coral and fuchsia incorporates three hot trends in fashion for spring/summer 2012.  Colors, stripes, and ruching.  The ruching in the center of the dress hides figure flaws and makes hips and tummy area appear smaller.  Nicole Miller, $245.



For a similar dress in the same color scheme, try this French Connection dress.  This dress is more casual in the style, but is perfect for a BBQ, go boating, or to a pool party.  You can dress it up with jewelry, a belt, and heels, or try jeweled flat sandals.  French Connection, $68.





One of my favorite dresses for the season by Milly.  Great neckline and sleeve detail.  The tied waist belt creates interest but sits higher to not emphasize the tummy.  Great for the 30-70 crowd for work or a night on the town.  Try with bold turquoise or blue earrings and cuff bracelet.  Looks great with metallic heels or sandals.  Milly, $370.



BCBGMAXAZRIA Drape Sash Ruching Dress.  The sash and ruching flatter your hips and tummy area and hide figure flaws.  Make sure it is loose enough not to cling to the tummy.  $148.




Tinley Road One Shoulder Maxi Dress.  Play this up with a long necklace in turquoise or bright blue.  $43.99.



Gianna Bini Lace Back with Gold Zipper Dress, $128.



Kasper Two Piece Suit.  Sleeveless dress option with with waistline sitting underneath the chest.  Great for ladies figures who have a little tummy or hips.  Wear just the jacket with another outfit (navy, white, blue, etc.) and the dress by itself with jewelry/heels.  $181.99 at Macy's.
 



Tahari by ASL Printed Wrap Dress, $124.



A swimwear cover up in a printed tangerine color is a great option for beach/pool time.  Vix Swimwear Mali Bliss Dress, $124.




Adrianna Papell Plus Size Lace Dress, $140. (14W-24W)

WEARING STRIPES: SPRING 2012

Stripes have moved beyond the nautical navy blue and white.  They can be seen in large stripes with small stripes in between, stripes mixed with patterns, and vertical stripes which make you taller and more in style.  Graphic prints with stripes are also very popular.  Look at the stripes width, the fabric-too clingy does not look well on your body, and the neckline to make a striped top or dress work for you.

Stripes of different sizes can slim you.

Try a graphic design with your stripes.  This appears like you are wearing artwork, which always makes a statement.

Enliven an outfit with a striped blazer over a bright colored dress.  I love this look for spring with a fuchsia, cobalt blue, or kelly green dress or with cropped straight leg pants.

Not sure you are ready to wear stripes all over?  Try it in a heel, sandal, or flat.  Beverly Feldman is go-to designer for this type of shoe.  Available at Periwinkle Boutique, Old Town Alexandria, VA (for locals).
