Styling Your Spring & Summer Wardrobe

Hello, patio!  Welcome back, sunshine! With temperatures finally edging upwards, I’m feeling jazzed to freshen up my wardrobe for warmer days ahead.

It’s high time to assemble a must-have list of what’s hot and trending, from tops to dresses and accessories in this season’s vibrant florals, with big splashes of blue, fuchsia and orange, plus chic black and white. Does the thought of lightweight fabrics, dazzling colors and…wait for it:  styles that actually bare a little skin make you sigh with unbridled pleasure after a drawn-out winter?  I believe I heard a resounding “Yes!” to that one. In that case, let’s stash our parkas in storage and get styled with these fashion must-haves for Spring-Summer ’14! 

Top Me Up

14201 Sleeveless Tie Dye Top by Dolcezza

The first wardrobe must-have for Spring and Summer is the quintessential sleeveless top that you can dress up or down, for everything from special soirees to casual patio partying. With the dazzling blue, tie dye tones of this gorgeous top by Dolcezza I’ll feel infused with summery ocean and sky, plus a touch of the Caribbean, wherever I go. With one lapel that’s crochet, this beautiful top is both boho and feminine. It pairs up perfectly with everything from sleek white pants to sexy skirts. Check out the rest of the stunning Blue Wave Collection by Dolcezza.

Work-to-Play Tunic

9662 Madison Crossover Tunic Top by Arianne Lingerie

Another spring-summer staple that’s fun and flattering is a fashion-forward tunic. Versatile enough to take you from the office to the outdoors, the chic Madison Crossover Tunic Top by Arianne Lingerie features an abstract black and white print that’s en vogue right now all over runways and the red carpet. I love how the sophisticated crossover bodice flatters any shape. Team this tunic up with soft, slim leggings like the Lilianne Capris by Arianne Lingerie for the most on-trend look.
