Hey Gorgeous,

What’s a girl to do after a long, gray winter, when her body and mind are craving colors and patterns? Start with your favorite print. Find inspiration in the sun and in the promise of spring in the slightly-less-chilly air. Then, get layering.

That’s what I did: starting with stripes. If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I was a sailor in a previous life. Stripes make me happy. This time, I chose a striped bodycon dress with an open back.

I layered a boxy denim shirt over the dress, creating a peplum effect with the help of a gold-plated belt. Peplum is every woman’s best friend. It works its magic, hiding all the imperfections. 

From there, denim and stripes needed color. So I added a few pops: magnificent pink shoes, a bright yellow bag, and bold green and blue necklaces. These made my outfit (and my mood) bright and happy, taking it from neutral to a little bit more daring.

Remember, Gorgeous, never take fashion too seriously! It should always be fun!

Stay happy and positive.

XOXO,

Anna
