Eleven
Fashion Must Haves Spring through
Fall 2006:
1.
Blouses are back!
Girlie
dressing has returned with blousy
style in ruffles, flounces and
fancy neck-ties. Sleeves are
unique, maybe a bit blouson with
gathering at the shoulders. Isn't
fabric luxurious? Pick your
slinky tops with bare shoulders
and/or your bare back. Your waist
can be loose or fitted. Tops can
be plain or decorated.
2.
Bags with structure.
Put away
the slouch bag for now. Bags in
2006 see a trend toward dome
shapes, contrasting trims and
buckles. Accessorize your smart
new bag with some bling! Try
adding handbag charms for a more
designer look.
3.
Updated Accessories.
Find hip
slung belts (they can be glitzy),
super skinny to 2"-3" thick. Pick
up a pair of large framed
sunglasses with color tint
lenses. Fresh jewelry is sparkly,
chokers are beaded with loose
strands cascading, earrings are
hoops or big and beautiful.
Choose shoes with fantastic
color, be they flat slides or
strappy stilettos. Last but not
least, a very large sun hat
(think Sophia Loren).
4.
Military feminine.
If you can
get your hands on it, please do!
Plan to wear your boots and look
Eastern bloc mysterious
undercover agent unbelievable.
Blue-grey and steely colors form
smart top-coats with faux fur
trim. Narrow army coats sport
distinct buttons and epaulettes.
Soften your
hard-as-nails look with a hint of
lace cami that peeks out from
underneath the lapel of your
trench, or a surprisingly
gorgeous fabric pencil line, to
the knee or just above, slits at
the side or back.
5.
Tailored suiting.
Play
classy at work and put your
curves into straight tailored
looks. Create the complete look
for fall with charcoal and brown
tweeds with leather accessories,
up-dos and strong jewelry. Keep
an eye out for some tweed
competition in the form of rich
brocades and jacquards.
6.
Midnight blue.
If you
don't go navy, go lighter than
navy! These blues partner
beautifully with neutrals and all
other colors. A simple, classic,
understated outfit might comprise
of a midnight blue fancy top and
your favorite dark blue jeans.

7.
Silhouettes with
contrast.
Go
for a slim line with
volume on top or bottom.
If you go for volume on
the bottom, go retro,
but more subtle with a
60's style tulip skirt.
If you go for volume on
the top, remember to
keep the bottom slim.
Try
a boxy to the waist
jacket with a zipped
front opening.

8.Dresses
with drama.
Get into
the swing of a dance dress, or
pounce on a cocktail-length
dress. Look for volume down below
and sexy detailing atop the
bust-line like ruching. Your
dress can be hip-hugging and sexy
with bare shoulders or a bare
back or both. Or a skirt and top
suit that will give you a
dressier look.
9.
Prints, prints and more prints!
Forget the
minimalism of the 90's. Try out
great new designs or florals
either head to toe or, say neck
to waist if you're feeling a bit
non-committal. Waist to ankles
wear your jeans or plain bottoms
or skirt. Eventually you'll be
print literate. Pull out those
scarves, and think about
purchasing a few fresh for the
upcoming seasons- even if you
just don it on your bag.
10.
Blouses Victorian style.
Dress up to
go out with authentic vintage
style. Not from your great-
aunt's collection, but from days
of the less recent past. Go all
out lacey and sheer or frilly and
feminine.
Add a
Victorian look to your favorite
white shirt . . . button it up
high, and add a bit of ribbon or
lace at your neck!
