dear fashion advisor: casual but stylish…

Q. I tend to dress more simply and casually these days. But I still want to look stylish and pulled together. Any ideas?

a. there is a great way to look casually stylish – it’s as simple as a crisp, white shirt…pair it with a pair of colorful cropped pants or capri’s – maybe top it off with a fabulous belt or scarf/belt combo at the waist…and voila! you’ve got a fabulous stylish…yet casual, look!

what will take your white shirt from good to great…however…is to pick a shirt with some special detailing…perhaps on the sleeves or at the neck or in the back…

if you can’t wear white well near your face…this will work equally well with a shirt in your ‘colors’ – just make sure it has a great fit and also a great detail…pair it with white pants and you’ve got a fabulous spring look!
