Shimmer and Shine Create A little Wardrobe Magic

Designers around the world are showing clothing with a little dazzle on their daytime designs. Gold, platinum, silver or copper lame fabrics and articles of clothing with embellishments like sequins and crystals are creeping into daytime fashions. They are a way to express optimism and confidence in spite of all the bad news that is prevailing in the news media.  



Metallic Shoes

 

Metallic Hand Bag

Accessories like metallic shoes, belts or handbags are a way to go during the daytime. Shoes with embellishments look great with pants for casual wear during the daytime.

Satin Blouse

When dressing for work a little dazzle goes a long way. A satin blouse with a suit would work in a conservative company. Otherwise a blouse with crystal buttons or an embellished color and/or cuffs might give your outfit an up to date look.

The trick to wearing clothing with shimmer or embellishments during the daytime is to wear one or two articles at a time.  And wear them to enhance your best feature(s).  For instance you might wear a metallic belt and shoes or metallic belt and handbag.

If you don't have anything in your closet that fits the bill and you want to buy one new thing for spring and summer think about adding some wardrobe magic.
