How to Look at Spring Colors in a Summery Kind of Way

When spring began, I presented to you Pantone’s NY Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019 Color Trend Report.  You can read my post, “Introducing Spring 2019 Colors and How to Use Them” HERE.  Pantone’s colors are for both seasons:  spring and summer.  Now that it’s the end of spring, the sun is coming out more often and the weather is warming up quite a bit.  So I am looking at the spring colors now in a summery kind of way.

An easy way to create an outfit from whatever you have in your closet is to choose a color combination.  So I have listed summer color combos below to inspire your outfit choices.  Age doesn’t matter.  Wear the colors you love and express your true self.

New Style Tip Plus How to Wear It

Hello, and welcome to another in my series of Style Tips!  Now that the weather is warming up here in Detroit, I feel ready to go sleeveless.  With that in mind, I have a new style tip to share with you.  As a bonus, I have (guess what?) ways to wear it!  😉  That’s my specialty.

Age doesn’t matter.  If you don’t like to show your arms, you can add a lace or sheer or fishnet top underneath your sleeveless top.  Or you could wear a t-shirt under it.  Or you can just go sleeveless in your home with your loved ones, and then add a sheer or lightweight layer on your way out the door.  There are infinite possibilities…well, almost.  Lol!

Whatever you decide, check out my Style Tip of the Day.

How to Get More Outfits with a Jean Skirt

Embroidered Denim Pencil Skirt from Chico’s

Since I’m always thinking of how to get more outfits out of one article of clothing, guess what this post is about?  More outfits!…this time out of a jean skirt.  If you would like to be inspired with fresh ideas on how to wear a short jean skirt, you came to the right place.  By short, I’m talking about above the knee or knee-length.

I am sharing 35 ideas with you in this post.  For even more jean skirt ideas, you can read my post about long jean skirts in my post “How to Wear an Old Favorite:  The Denim Maxi Trend” HERE.

I love my jeans.  When I had to wear business clothes to work every day, I couldn’t wait to get home to the comfort of my jeans.  If I had to choose only one bottom to wear for the rest of my life, I could survive with blue jeans!

I also have a couple of jean jackets, a long denim skirt and a short denim skirt.  Once in awhile, a jean jacket comes in handy.  But with the skirts, I plan outfit combinations with them before I end up wearing them.

That’s because I prefer pants to skirts. If you are the type who prefers skirts to pants, a jean skirt could be as useful as blue jeans.  Just substitute a jean skirt and a tee for jeans and a tee. 

Age doesn’t matter.  Anyone can wear denim.  Wear what you love and show your true self!
