Something Blue

Mint Main - 1 year ago - Kathryn Lovell

“Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue.”
Lyman Frank Baum, 1856 – 1919

Sapphire, cyan, royal, ocean, lagoon, aqua, sky…the blue list is seemingly endless. And so are its fashion possibilities. Embrace the blues this month as you start planning your spring purchases.

Robin Egg

Ellen Tracy 2 button jacket

A soft blue jacket is crisp with white, vivid with black, modern with brown and subdued with grey. One could easily become the new workhorse of your wardrobe.

Turquoise

Anthropologie Strapless Dress What do you wear for weddings, graduations and nice dinners on vacation? A simple turquoise dress. Add a cardigan and ballet flats or simple sandals and you’re off to lunch, a museum exhibit or light shopping.

Navy
J Crew Navy Pants

Watch me pull a whole new wardrobe out of one item…How you ask? Trade your basic black pants for navy pants. Colors play off navy differently, so that one little switch will make everything else in your closet seem new.

Fashion Trip

Mint Main - 1 year ago - Kathryn Lovell

“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.”
Plato, 428 – 348 BC

The winter of our discontent is fading as spring is being sprung on us. It’s time to come out of hibernation, stretch your arms and take on a worldly air. Even if your vacation plans are on hold, you can go around the world in three trends.

South Pacific

Silk crinkle skirt

Immerse yourself in island fever with a flowing skirt. A denim jacket and streamlined sandals will keep the look from being too bohemian.

Makarresh Express

White Tunic A tailored tunic works for the beach, museums  or tapas on a Saturday night. One with minimum detailing will be tres chic for springs to come.

Ivory Coast
Safari jacket

A safari jacket in a crisp fabric and non-olive color looks sharp with dress pants for the office or casual clothes for play.
