Sea of Fabric

Now that Spring is here I am longing for the beach. I do not see myself getting there anytime soon though. In my thoughts of the beach I can't help but think about how magnificent the ocean must look. I love looking at photos of the water. Sunsets and sunrises look so beautiful and so do the rolling waves.

My love for the water transcends into fashion. Some designers seem to have an ability to sculpt their material into a sea of fabric. Pieces that remind me of water seem to have an effortless yet sophisticated look to them.

Look 1
Not only do I love the color of this dress but the skirt looks like a phenomenal wave of water. I thought this dress would look beautiful will plum purple heels and gold accessories.

Dressy and Delicate in Romantic Ruffles

There's nothing more romantic or feminine than ruffles. Since ruffles are light and airy they are perfect for Spring. They can be incorporated into your clothes for any type of situation. The pencil skirt below would be perfect to wear to an important meeting at work and the tank tunic would be great to wear while running errands on a Saturday morning. The Ardenb one shoulder dress is my favorite piece. The lilac color is beautiful for this time of year and I can picture anyone dressed in this receiving numerous compliments. The key to ruffles is to keep the other articles of clothing you are wearing simple.
