PRINTS GALORE

Prints are a huge trend for spring.  Look for large geographic prints and bold bright colors.  Soft pastels give a light, breezy springtime look.  Go for what works best with your skin colors and tones.  No matter what your age, you can wear large bold prints.  Pair a print tunic or semi-sheer blouse with white pants or bright colored slim fit capri pants if you dare.

Print accessories, such as bangles and pocketbooks-clutches, totes, are a great way to add in the trend.

FABULOUS FALL LAYERS

As the weather gets chillier its the perfect time to pull out your scarves, belts, cardigans, and jackets.  The layered look is big for fall.  How you layer is key!

Tips for layering:  

-start with your bottoms (jeans, leggings, pants) which should be more fitted around your backside.

-add a top

-put a cardigan or jacket over top

-add scarves and/or a belt

-length is key:  A longer top looks great with a shorter jacket.  Minimum of 2.5-3 inches length difference between bottom of your top and your jacket/topper.  With a shorter top (waist or hip length) go with a longer sweater or jacket.
