- What to wear, what to wear...When it's sunny in the morning, snowy in the afternoon, and rainy in the evening, dressing both appropriately and fashionably is a challenge at best, and a pain in the a** at worst. Our temporary fix is to continue layering, but not necessarily in the same way we've been doing for the past few months. We're loving springy, cropped jackets (like the linen Julie Park version or Hudson's classic signature denim, both in-store) over your usual winter-wear and sweater-dresses on unseasonably cold days. Pair with tights if it's below 60 degrees. And speaking of tights, we've recently discovered that despite the traditional taboo of wearing them with open-toed shoes, they look great with the chunky platform sandals we've been waiting to break out. Who cares about rules?!? For more ideas, check out these tips from one of our fave fashion blogs, WhoWhatWear: http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full-article/www-styling-tips-1595/
- Tip #2: Pick up this season's sunglasses a bit early. Nothing makes us feel more prepared for sunshine than sliding on a fabulous new pair of shades, even if they're only useful for the occasional glint through the clouds. Purchasing them now gave us a huge mood boost - and no guilt trip - as they are totally wearable even when it's not-so-nice outside (unlike that new bikini).
- To go with your new sunnies, you need two more things: the first is a TAN. We have given our very best effort to embrace pale skin and are officially over it. Fast fix: Brown Sugar Tan Spa. Whether you're a tanning traditionalist and prefer some good UV bulbs or like to keep it UV-free by going with a Mystic spray tan, you can get either at both lovely Brown Sugar locations. They have amazing package specials going on right now too- find them on facebook!
- The second necessity is pink lipstick. You probably already have a few pretty, neutral versions in your makeup bag, but we're talking PINK! It seems a little crazy and you might attract some stares, but you'll be amazed how much hot pink lips brighten up your whole face...and your outlook! One important note, though: stay away from anything with glitter, glimmer, shimmer, shine, frost...you get the idea. With a look this bright, it's best to stick to matte finishes and stains. Our favorite versions are NARS Pure Matte lipstick in Carthage and Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Fuschia Fever. Pat them on with your finger for a subdued yet sophisticated look that stays put. And keep the rest of your makeup minimal!
