Midas Touch

It’s the season for magpies with all of the shimmer and glimmer in fashion this fall. Don’t worry- we’re not revisiting 80s lamé. The metallics of the new millennium are fabulous. However, as always, the devil is in the details. You want your personality to shine, not your clothes. Look for pieces with a subtle sheen and mix them with matte fabrics. Here are three ways to have a gleam in your eyes and in your wardrobe.

Wear a lustrous skirt with a crisp white blouse for modern elegance. Add a leather jacket for a modern edge.

Pair a sparkly sweater with black pants for evening glamour. Wear it with your favorite jeans and colorful beaded necklaces for daytime panache.

Add a little opulence to bill paying with a silver checkbook holder. Metallic wallets make everything seem richer, including your bank account.
