Your new fashion mantra: "Instead of my LBD, for my next date, cocktail
party, wedding, or other excuse to dress up - I WILL wear color."
This
sweet Tibi dress has an exuberant print that's completely irresistible
in a cut that's begging to be taken out and shown a good time. For a
picnic, BBQ or beach party, go more low key in flats (try Juicy
Couture's
"Violet" toe-ring espadrille sandal, a
casual-chic tote in "Teaberry", and a
fabulous straw hat),
But when the sun goes down, step out South Beach style in vibrant
grass-green heels, a coral bag, and jewelry with fringe. Worried about
how to balance so much color at one time? First, focus on one or two
key hues in the print - in this case green and coral - in order pick
accessories that coordinate in a non-clashy way. Then, evaluate whether
the background of the print is cool or warm. Here, it's a warm beige,
so a warm-toned metal such as bronze or gold is your best choice - and
the reason that with this dress, gold-toned jewelry works so well.
