Style Inspired! - Summer 2012


So here we are in the midst of the summer season. As the sun emerges, this is the part where we get excited and whip out all our best summer clothes. This year’s summer season brings us floral prints, pastels and bold vibrant colours. And I have to admit I have been swept away: for this summer I intend to revel in my femininity.
Style Inspired.
I have to admit that I have always had a thing for ‘old skool’ fashion; I am inspired by the fashion styles of the 50s/70’s/80’s and 90s. For this summer season, 50’s retro fashion is back in.
The fifties was a time of elegance and femininity and the revolution of the 70s brought a more dramatic and youthful style. So am thinking Miss Candy meets Hippy Chic! A blend of pastels; candy pink/baby blues, lush lilac and flower power prints.
Think; 50’s style: Shift dresses/skirts, A-line skirts, wrap dresses, halter neck circle/pencil dresses. Combined with ballet pumps or high-heeled court shoes.
70s style: Maxi skirts/dresses, wide-leg/flared/bellbottoms/palazzo trousers. Combined with platform shoes and wedges.
