PRETTY IN PINK...AT ANY AGE

Pink is a gorgeous, fun color to wear for spring and summer. The key is choosing shades of pink that suit your skin tone and your age. Bubble gum pink looks fresh and fun but is a color best suited to younger women (under 50). Magenta and deep pink look great on skin tones from olive to fair skin and can be worn by any age lady. From dresses to skirts, blouses and tops, pink is a must wear for the season. Maxi skirts and maxi dresses, hi-lo dresses, and pink sundresses are on trend. Chiffon tunics and chiffon blouses in magenta are stylish for the office to the evening or weekend. Not ready to dive into this color, then add it in your accessories (in statement necklaces, cuff bracelets, stackable bangles), in your bags (over-sized clutches and totes), or in your footwear (high-heeled sandals, espadrilles, and wedges). Be chic in pink!

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.

GAGA FOR GREEN ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Irish or not, St. Patrick's Day is a holiday inspiring green clothing looks. Emerald Green is Pantone's Color of the Year, so you should get lots of versatility in any green clothing or accessories you wear. While St. Patrick's Day might be a day wear you wear just green, Emerald pairs well with yellows and blues-ocean blue, turquoise, navy, sapphire. Mixing together colors freshens the look.

Men's Looks:

A collarless shirt is a trendy, casual way to wear green. Unbotton the collar and add a graphic t-shirt or striped shirt in contrasting colors underneath. Layer a vest overtop (puffer, down) to add some flare.
