May, Already?

May has arrived - and apparently May is notorious for being gray in Southern California... that just seems wrong. If I wanted to enjoy the gloom I would've stayed in the Pacific Northwest. I think I'll wait it out - I am confident the sun WILL shine, tomorrow!
So, the real question is how does one stay fashionably warm with rising temperatures?
  • cardigans - lightweight cotton knits in bright colors pull together any outfit
  • cropped jackets - look chic with skinny jeans and full, feminine blouses
  • scarves - nothing heavy or dark, keep it light and airy to breeze into summer
And most definitely get ready to bare those shoulders as the temperatures rise...
  • strapless dresses - mini to midi length in bright colors and bold prints
  • sleeveless and slender strapped blouses - keep it simple and add a statement piece of jewelry.
    • Think colorful beads, an armful of bangles or hoops (pick one, and NEVER over-accessorize, it tends to look cheap and tacky)
Until next time, stay tuned and always stay stylish
