"Summer Lady"

By the end of this very week, final exams will be completed and summer will be simply alive. Focusing so much on the onset of spring, especially during that tragic winter, I lacked the proper preparation of the sweetness to the summer heat.

Thus, I have compiled a general list of tips for this season:

1. Wear statement earrings. Whether they be hoops or chandelier, slick your hair back and sport these gems.

2. Asymmetrical necklines. Not only are they incredibly flattering on many body types, but they were seen all over the runways.

3. Metallic fabric. Some of designers heaviest hitters took this look down the runway. If it is good enough for them, it is good enough for us. This look can be worn in demure ways or as the entire ensemble, as a pop of flash or compiling an entire dress.

4. Bold blocks of color. It's summer, so of course bright colors like electric blue are stamped all over the place. It's the geometric shapes of the colors on the fabric that takes the cake for originality this season.

5. Tribal or ethnic. These looks can be expressed in either prints or embellishments. What a great look for summer!

6. Fringe. Going out on the town? Try to sport this look! Donning it in either a long dress or short frock, this is the epitome of glamour.

7. Sheer. Not used as a peep-show technique. However, try layering a sheer colored fabric over an ensemble, preferably with a pattern, to enhance your fashion I.Q.

8.Platform wedges. Go back to days of the Spice Girls. Wedges are back, and the more 70s reminiscent they are, the better.

Now that I have explained the summer know-how, there is no need to fret! Study away! I got your summer trends covered.

  1. Wedges are my favorite shoe for summer. Love them with a dress or jeans and a tank.
