Flirty Skirts

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Tilly fabricSummer 2007 is definitely flirty and feminine with skirts replacing shorts in many venues!  Whether you choose prints or solids, be sure you use a fabric with drape — silk prints, chiffon or georgette with underskirts, cotton lawn.  For a more structured silhouette, try a multi-gore skirt in cotton satin print or solid linen.  Make it short and flirty or long and elegant.

Fuchsia

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

It’s hot and it’s striking!  Fuchsia is on a comeback for those of you who miss it, and it’s an all new color for those who haven’t tried it.

Fuchsia fabricsTip toe in with just a bit in a print or go head to toe in a suit.  You’ll love this purplish pink color for statement dressing.   Right now we have an absolutely stunning viscose/linen texture, Flamenco, in stock.  Our silk chiffon burnout is dramatic in black and fuchsia–Masquerade.  If you can’t get yourself to fuchsia, consider a hot pink or a deep orchid to simulate the trend.  The pinstripe in Suit Yourself is actually orchid, but it works with fuchsia coordinates as well.

Just a touch of purplish pink will update a basic outfit!
