Summer’s on us and as dresses go bare minimal, just accessorise right for the ‘it’ look.
Belts If you have a waist that’s every girl’s envy, go for big broad belts to give you that hourglass look. Plus size? Think slim metal or silver chains or intertwined hoops to accentuate just the right curves. Carrie Bradshaw may have worn that slim belt on her bare midriff taking the fashionistas by storm, but hey we’ve had this forever! Rock it on a sari, dress, sharara or lehenga!
Baubles You don’t want those rashes in the heat! If it is huge hoops, loops, danglers or chandeliers, simply show off those collar bones. The noose can be kept simple with slim chains in different lengths, and they are quite the in-thing. Wear them in twos or layer as many you feel like according to the occasion and the dress.
Footsie? And those torturous skyscrapers are back but thankfully as platform heels. The higher the better. Teetering on any of those precipices can be quite daunting for many, so settle for the more comfortable kitten heels, and even those stringy flats a la grecian sandals that you can tie all the way up to your knees. And higher-than-knees boots could well be the call of the high fashion mademoiselle, but they sure are not for our sweltry summers.
Carriers The bucket and the tote should be your arm candy this season, and either in nudes or brights.
But remember, follow style only to the extent it has you comfortable in your skin. And like always, I look forward to hearing from you.
