Weekend wear has become an increasingly popular category for designers.  Women want more than jeans and t-shirts.

The woman who has a stylish angle to herself wants a dress that makes a statement and is comfortable for any occasion.  The mini dress has made a comeback.

You could even wear a pair of Capri leggings or a full slip under this one to give you a double wardrobe solution for summer.  So many options, what’s a girl to do?  Wear them all, of course!

 

Retro inspired clothing is a favorite of many women this season. The cool and hip styles bring back memories of the 70’s and 80’s. Today, the style has a modern twist with no straps. For most of us we would be a little intimidated to wear it, but thank goodness for bodywear that shape, and lift us up!

I would pair a one piece strapless suit that helps to elongate the torso and make the jumper look lean and mean. Celebrate summer in style!

The skirt is making a major comeback this season as a staple for any woman’s closet. When I was in New York recently, every flagship designer store had a skirt in the window paired with a chic, sleek blouse. It’s a classic look that never goes out of style. It gets tricky when wearing something that fits close to the body like a pencil skirt.

I recommend a shaper that goes high and eliminates the mid section and sculpts the hip line in order to showcase the skirt, not your “issues”. Can I wear a pencil skirt if I am plus size? Absolutely, it’s about the solution, not the size. Shapewear has been designed to be fashion friend. Step out of the comfort zone and showcase fabulous you!

When getting dressed for work, it’s very easy to get stuck into a routine.  We can pull out our favorite jacket, pants or skirt.  The dress is making a comeback as a new fashion staple that can add life and vitality to your working wardrobe.

In addition, it’s the ultimate celebration of being a woman in business.  It’s classy, and speaks to our feminine power.  When you’re wearing the right fit solutions, the dress can make a woman’s confidence soar.   I encourage women to wear a high waist brief to create a smooth line from the midriff to the thigh.   Add a dress to your spring and summer work wardrobe for success.

 

If you have been reading the fashion magazines, then you know that white is a sure fire hit!  It’s being paired with black and or vibrant hues.

White from head to toe has been the most popular so far this season with a pop of color in your bag or jewelry.  Over the years, I have seen women shy away from the basic because of the fear of fit or figure challenges.  This year, don’t be in fear, equip yourself with basic bodywear and shapewear gear that will eradicate and smooth any fit challenge. 

On the top of the list, a pant liner can smooth you from the waist to the ankle. Pants are THE hottest trend right now.  On the top, conceal and control your rolls with a shapewear camisole.  These two items combined make wearing white fun and fearless.   Go forth!
