In preparation for spring purchases, I’ve done a lot of thinking about what mood I will be in during the upcoming months.  It’s about the weather and the light foremost, but my wardrobe forecast also includes internal considerations.  Career goals, personal milestones and romantic fantasies all come into play.  These images below caught my eye and got me thinking….

Soft tones that mix with all tones of brown to encourage a natural palette, minimal beauty routine and lightness of being.  Mixing easy patterns that add spirit and cheer to simplistic warm weather dressing (so I don’t lose my edge).  The cummerbund as accessory.  More forgiving that a traditional belt and so much more exotic.  Easily created with a beautiful scarf for a chic effect encompassing color and pattern.

Volume and skin.  While baring plenty of creamy skin, volume adds elegant modesty leaving the imagination free to roam.

Staggered hemlines.  They swish when you walk and enhance legs marvelously while opening up a variety shoe silhouette options.

The color blue, with vintage overtones, mixed with black and silver.  Relaxing to the eye and universally appealing, she has timeless depth in this shot.  Androgyny refreshes me during the passion months.

Perfection.
