Coral Spring Jackets

Coral is quick becoming one of my favorite colors this Spring. I already have a few coral items, especially in jewelry, but really love the new pink shade of coral. It looks fresh and looks fabulous with white, nude and other neutrals. So I think it would be great as a jecket to pop on pants and dresses.

With the rainy weather, I've been thinking about a coral trench coats, but I think I'll really get a blazer or something structured like it over the summer.

What do you think? Do you see yourself wearing this color?

Fuchsia Handbags

I love fuchsia handbags this Spring. I seem to notice them all the time and keep thinking how nice the color is. I have an old handbag in this color so I know how unpractical to pair this color can be. Maybe it's time to get it out of the closet and use it with white, turquoise and green.

Do you like handbags of funky colors? What do you think of this color?

Must Have for Spring&Summer: Printed Jersey Shift Dresses

LegacyOfPearl — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:27:17 -0800

Printed shift dresses make a big statement since two years and I see no shortage of them this year. In fact, the colors and the patterns get even bolder by the year. I love the shades of yellow, blue and purple in big geometric prints this season.They are very easy to style creating an instantly artsy look and also very practical to maintain. In my busy daily schedule, I love that they don't require ironing and could bemachine washed. They are a great addition to your wardrobe if you like wearing leggings and sandals in Spring and Summer.

I wear mine in a lot of different ways including as a tunic blouse on top of skinny jeans and leggins, with regular jeans and belt as a tunic, as a dress with tights and boots or with sandals or flat shoes in summer.

Here are a links to few in all price ranges and patterns... there's definitely no shortage of them on the market right now.

Winter 2009: Peplum Hems -- How to Wear?

LegacyOfPearl — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:03:38 -0800

Peplum hemmed jackets, shirts and skirts are everywhere this season. I love the trend, as peplum hems give definition to the body in a very flattering way. I love tops and jackets with peplum hem with straight pants and pencil skirts. With peplum skirts, I make sure everything else is understated and slimming. Here are some looks. However, the look might not work for every body type. I feel the looks is easier to wear hourglass, busty or tube body types, but it would take more experimenting for apples and pears. I believe everyone can wear anything with the right cut, size and styling.

So do you have a favorite way to wear peplum hems? Any ideas?
