Going for Bold

I haven’t seen a crocus or a rosebud, but Vogue is two inches thick so it might as well be Spring. Designers rediscovered bold, black and white prints this season for glamorous, wearable clothes. The whole look has a ‘1950s Hollywood starlet on vacation’ feel, so pick your leading lady and hit the stores. Whether you prefer Rosalind Russell or Audrey Hepburn, you’ll be ready for your close up all season.

Newport News

Dresses are fun, flirty and easy to wear. You can channel your inner Marilyn Monroe with a halter dress or opt for another style. Pair it with a bright colored wrap and you’re ready for graduations and summer weddings.

Jones New York

The versatility of printed skirts makes them a must have this season. Wear one with a sweater set and pearls for Grace Kelly elegance. Feeling a little more Sophia Lauren? A fitted T shirt or camisole under a denim jacket gives the look more oomph.

Poesis

Add a little Spring to your business suit and carry a graphic print handbag. You can swap out your work bag with a patterned tote, or find a small purse to take to lunch. After all, your agent will handle all the paperwork.
