Stop confining yourself to black and white because bold, punchy colors are the best thing to happen to clothes since Marc Jacobs himself. They also happen to be super-flattering, super-tan-enhancing, and reminiscent of everything fabulous—snow cones, gumballs, and birthday balloons, just to name a few.
Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent’s Bye Bye Birdie Slip Cami in Melon is easy to adore for its luxurious washed silk and smocked empire waist. The color works on most any complexion, and will have you craving popsicles and looking stunningly summer.
Ella Moss’ Marlin Drop Waist Dress boasts shades of mandarin and sun, and the little linen style is sure to be a cheerful change from the countless black sheath dresses you have no doubt acquired.
Too common is the pressure to wear something fabulous compounded by the fact that you, like every other female in America, have nothing to wear! Let Rory Beca’s Elsie ¾ Sleeve Tunic Dress—with hues like emerald, sun, cherry, and an irresistible cobalt color that will have you feeling anything but blue, find its place as number one in your lineup of summer duds. So easy to throw on, yet you will feel perfectly polished and pretty, with a simple pair of heels and some gold accessories (like 10K Diamond Cut Hoop Earrings with Bead Detailing).
And Alisha Levine ¾ Sleeve Backless Top is love at first ruffle. The girly detail compliments an open, split back and bottom hem, adding another decorative element to this silk version of wearable birthday cake. Not too much, of course; just the right amount of frosting to leave you feeling yummy.
Vibrant, lively colors are the best way to elevate a mood and make a bold fashion statement with confidence. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to one-up Ms. Chiquita Banana (although I say, the brighter, the better), but if June Gloom should rear its ugly head, and you find yourself a bit melancholy, find inspiration in all things colorful and kindergarten. Think finger-paints and grape soda, piñatas and a little bit of confetti, and dazzle them with that same endearing desire to be the center of attention you once shamelessly boasted back in those glorious, lollipop-filled days.
