What shirts to wear this Spring
It’s an exciting time. Everywhere I go I see women ready to rip off their coats and sport their newest spring buys. Which has me thinking about tops. This season is a going to be a lot of fun. Shiny metallics are being found everywhere. This JCrew Metallic shirt is beautiful. Rhinestones, sequins have gone from shoes and jewelry to shirts, dresses and more. Don’t be afraid to let your personality “shine” through.
Black and whites are always classics such as French Connections Juliet Dream Top, but I’m seeing a lot of black and white tops with band lines on them. I’m also seeing a lot of stripes. Have fun with stripes, but be careful, some striped looks can make you look bigger. Try on before buying.
Graphic T’s have made a come back and they are gorgeous ladies. You can grab one from ArdenB or Forever21. These will surely go into summer as well. Stars such as Beyonce and Hayden Panettiere have been spotted with graphic T’s at the beach and at events. Go glam or go casual with them.
So I’ll leave with one last item: the jumpsuit. I’m not a big fan of these personally being a petite sized woman with short legs. But I put one on my niece who’s a gorgeous 5’8 skinny girl with long legs and it was stunning on her. It was an off the shoulder drape jump suit from ArdenB. We added a bold necklace and earrings and she was ready to go on her date. The jumpsuit was simple as were the accessories.

I really like the tops from Arden B and Forever 21..I want to know what kind of dressy tanks or camis are good for the spring and what kind of accessories go good with them.

Hi Jessica, for this season look for anything that has shine. So sequined tops, metallics will make the top dressy. You’ll find these almost anywhere. That alone will be dressy. With accessories, don’t overdo it. Especially with the metallic pieces.

Navee – you made a comment in your “about” that I know I am guilty of….”I am stunned by women who don’t take five minutes to pull together at least the bare minimum of a classic look of a pair of jeans with a casual shirt.”.. what would you recommend to someone like me who is on a budget and in a hurry but doesn’t want to look the “frumpy” part?

Hi Jani, a classic look is a classic look. Understanding your body type is the key to style. It doesn’t matter if you shop at Target or Neiman Marcus. So long as the clothing fit your body. Jeans and a nice cotton shirt with flats look nice and it’s simple to pull together. Here are some basics for purchase if you don’t have them: Tinted moisturizer with spf, mascara and lip gloss.
Brush your hair – pin it back or pull it back whatever makes you comfortable. Apply mascara. A little bit of blush if you think you need it and lip gloss. That’s it. Tinted moisturizer with spf is great. It gives you color while protecting your skin.
